THINGS ARE LOOKING UP!
BELK HOLDS THE LINE
It is the general impression of the
public today, with the discontinu
ance of the O. P. A., that prices will
advance enormously.
Prices at Belk's on goods now in
our store will not be increased above
the ceilings which the O. P. A. estab
lished.
It is the further hope of the man
agement of Belk's that we may be
able to secure our goods in the future
at such prices that we can continue
to "Hold the Line."
