The St. Louis Sacrifice Sale
° Held last week when five of the biggest wholesale houses in the hustling city of St. Louis got up a big Sacrifice Sale and fought °
0 each other to a finish in an effort to secure the lion’s shpre of the trade.

<► Ask McGrath about the bargain offerings that are to be found in every department of the big store. The lively Fall o
Campaign already instituted at the one-price store will become even more vigorous as the season advances and prices will be ex- °

o Another thought it must be to relieve the crowded condition of the big store incident to the usual heavy Saturday trade. < ►
° Another figured that perhaps we had too much stock, but while all these guesses were pretty fair, the real reason is—well, °
