Great Merchandising Chain Plans
Mammoth Anniversary Chain Sale
Mr. J. H. Teague, Manager of
- Efird's Dept. Store of Lumberton
Among Those Present: , ' ,
Efird's Store, always husy, is A
vc-rital le hive of iTKili&tr this morn
ing, with 42 of the managers and chief
executives from everytore in the"
chain of 31, present for .an extraor
dinary conference with the president.
The cause of the -gathering is the.
perfecting of arrangements for an an
niversary of the greatest merchandis
ing sale ever held in the South, when,
a year ago Efird's stores combined in
a simultaneous effort to knock the
props out of the high cost of living,
and started a buying movement on the
part of the public, dealing through the
Efird stores, which resulted in the
greatest outgo of merchandise and the
greatest volume of sales, ever known
in the history of the Efird depart
ment stores. The combined sale last
year was a colossal success both from
the point of the public and the stores.
Stocfco , ; "vOut Completely'
on a falling market at bargain prices,
the best given since before the war.
and the Efirds' reputation was great
ly enhanced with the buying public,
who had become , weary of mounting
prices. The sale last year was the
first step in the direction of "back to
normal," and ever since, the Efird
policy has been to strain every nerve
to restore stability to the dollar, and
bring prices to pre-war levels.
Will Eclipse Last Year.
With a full realization of the diffi
culty which will be experienced in
making the sale on June 18th. as sue
cessful as that of a year airo. Efirds'
is determined not to rest on oast mer
chandising triumphs, but to go to the
public with such irresistible values
and bargains, even in this year of .low
prices, that there will be left, not 'one
vestige of a shadow of doubt through-:
out the broad territory which their 31
stores command, that Efirds' Anniver
sary Chain Sale beginning on Junej jS,
will surpass any effort at ranid
economical merchandising, in thesis,
tory of the entire South.
It is with this object in view fiat
42 of the most alert merchandisers
in the Carolinas are conferring today,
determined to make the sale opening
June 18 eclipse the wonderful selling,
effort of last year. They know it
will be difficult, but with lower prices
than for years past, an organization
perfected to the last degree, and a
tremendous reserve buying power1 on
the part of the public, these men
know that they can put over success-

When there's
M R Q (AIADDW
baking to be done
IN fact, the New Perfection Oil Cook
Stove does alt kinds of cooking per
fectly and economically. With a New
Perfection Oven it is possible to bake
the fluffiest of cakes and light, crisply'
browned biscuits.
Note the long blue chimney on each
New Perfection burner. This provides
a draught which drives clean heat pro
ducedby the whitetippedflame forcibly
against the cooking utensil, without
sooting it. , Soot is simply good heat
gone to waste.
And remember that the white-tipped
flame gives the most heat. Through the
mica door in the chimney you can al
- ways see the flame and wick and adjust
them in a second. .
NEW
Busy housekeepers appreciate the small
amount of attention that the New Per
fection requires. No coal or wood to
bring in, no ashes or litter to sweep up
and take out. It stands up well above
the floor and you can dust under and
around it in an instant. Select the four
burner si:e with cabinet, top and New
Perfection Oven. It is made also in five,
three, two and one-burner sizes for any
who prefer them.
You will always get perfect results from
your oil stove if you use Aladdin Secur
ity Oil it's pure kerosene.
New Perfection Oil Cook Stores are sold at most
department', furniture and lutrdware stores.
