Ready, and a Kress Ready extends to the minutest .detail of display, mer chandise, and service. Is the word that has been given out from Carolina's popular Christmas store. With an es tablishment almost three times the size of the one in which former Christ* mas Patrons were received, early indi cations are that their popularity has grown with the size of their store, and that crowds and Kress’ will each sug gest the other this year as In former seasons. But the values—the assort ment and the variety of pretty things. How can they do It at the prices, for they sell nothing over twenty-flve cents. Fourteen years of constant striving to better the best that they have ever done, study and careful planning, hard and persistent organiz ed effort, system and equipment, guided by special genius and adaptability for the business, the tremendous quanti ties bought and sold by their over one hundred stores exceeding in many cas es the output of single mills and fac tories. buying facilities seeking every market and sought after by every mar ket-the world knows. That’s the answer. Those are the reasons behind the greatest value giv ing organization in the world. And every advantage it can offer is yours for the asking. It has been brought to its present efficiency for you, as much for you alone as for any other one of the thousands of you’s that receive |ts benefits daily and to fulfill its mission, it must please you, it must measure up to your expectation of value ^vlng and cheerful, painstaking service. Ev ery dollar of merchandise they sell is sold with an absolute guarantee of sat isfaction. If you feel you have not got your money’s worth you positively can get your money back. Despite their extremely low prices quality is with them the first essential and to day they have more than two thousand square feet of counter space filled with holiday goods, priced from 5 cents to 25 cents, ever>’ nickel’s worth of which stands this money-back test and every dollar of which has been specially se lected for holiday business. Truly theirs is pre-eminently the Christmas store of the Carolinas.
