Those who h ave watched the phe
nominal growth of our business and
drank of the cooling waters of low
prices we are giving, know perfectly
well the reasons for our reat suc
cess. It is said there is net a house
like it in the Nation doing the busi
ness we Art doing in a citY f 15.000
poopK'. l.rfM wrck gentleman
came from Pittsburjf on purpose to
learn if possible, the cause of our
1
great trade. After spcr.dinjj twoj
dais, he said to the writer he would
not have missed it for an hundred
dollars. He fi.id gathered up new
Heas n( biines. success. The truth
is our success his expVde.lhe ihf
ory and practice of high prices es
tablished beyond doubt that the law
of success in merchandise is that of
small profits and quick s1?s. That
of reducing the business to Cash, of
mastering with Dollars when we biy
and keeping the mastery when we
we sell Under-buy; Uoder-sell.
To every visitor we extend a cordial
invitation to co ne and se us, to go
all through our House, to get prices
under the law ol Dollar Valuations,
and to buv as it will pay yni to buy.
A page is no not large enough to

: We have just added 4,000 to our
Shoe stock, bought from the closing
ol the manufacturers season, and
shall sell as we bought. The appli
cation of this rule has built our Shoe
trade, as it has all our departments,
i.,,, ... . .. .... ..
up to mammoth proportions. This
department often requires six sales
men to wait on our trade. We are
using every effort in this department
to lead the house, and under the
management of the wonderful worker
Harvey Hood, we shall not hesitate
to say to the leaders in other depart
ments, look out for your laurels or
your departments will be behind.
