FOLLOWING NOTE FROM J. W. EFIRD, OUR
NEW YORK OFFICE:
My office, with the entire organization, has been
busy now for three weeks collecting new Fall merchan
dise for all the stores. We have bought the largest num
ber of garments in the past two weeks that we have ever
bought in a like time, and at prices lower for real quality
and style that we have ever heard of. We have simply
took the entire ouput of numbers of manufacturers
numbering into the thousands and thousands of Dresses
and Coats. I know our stores can sell Dresses and Coats
this fall at lower prices than our competitors are paying
for them in New York. Put on a sale at once and save
the good people some money for we have shipped enough
to each store during the past ten days to fill them up.
