Music A Sale That Will Not Be Forgotten
__ Morning
Now here is your chance —Never Before or probably Never Again will you have this opportunity. We are now arranged in our New Store
and we are going to give you a sale that you will remember. Your loyal patronage has made this Big Modern Department Store possible, and
we feel that it is our duty' to open this store complete with this Big Sale, and we promise something Big for every' day.
Never before in the history of Concord have you witnessed an event of this kind so great before. It has taken months of careful planning and
hard work to get the Goods for this sale bought and arranged in stock. Our New York buyers and our Concord buy ers have searched the north
ern markets for the verv best merchandise that money can buy at the lowest possible prices so that we could make this opening of our New
Store a sale that would not be forgotten, “and we have succeeded.
" \ _
During this Opening Sale which will continue for 10 days w e will offer our entire stock of merchandise which is valued at about $300,000, at
prices 25 per cent, below today’s market. Cotton goods have adv anced and conditions point to still higher prices, (but w'e are prepared) and
now is vour chance to buy and save. We placed contracts months ago and the goods are now arriving just in time for this Opening Sale and by
buying in large quantity lots it is easy' to see how we can save y ou money.
