TWO SCHOOLS CLOSE
DUE TO HEAT LACK
Students at Armstrong High and
Old Section of Western Shifted
to Other Buildings.
The old section of Western High
School and Armstrong Technical High
School were closed today by school au
thorities because of the lack of heat.
The closing of these buildings caused
a shift in the students' bodies. West
ern's students were divided into two
groups, one attending school each day
in the new addition while the other
takes a holiday. This alternating ar
rangement will be continued until
next Monday, when the heating plant
in the old section of Western is ex
pected to be connected with the fur
naces in the new building.
Armstrong's students have been as
signed to classes In Dunbar High
School. A dual shift system has been
put into operation to accommodate

! Credit Costs You Money
A comparison of Sigmund’s
cash prices and the prices of
deferred payment stores will
show an astonishing difference.
We recently put it to the
test —
One of our employes bought
a Silk Dress from a so-called
‘‘Credit Store” —making an in
itial payment of $5. The price
of the Dress was $37.50.
We had an exact duplicate of
the identical Dress in our store
—same model, same pattern,
same grade of silk; same char
acter of workmanship. SIG
MUND’S CASH PRICE WAS
| $15.00
Is it worth $22.50 more for
the so-called credit? CER
TAINLY NOT!
Our Lay-by Plan gives you
all the accommodation of selec
tion and reservation—holding
the garment upon a small de
posit until you are ready—and
saving you—in the case of the
above Dress —actually $22.50.
Buy for cash —and save the
I difference
