from the crowds that thronged
our store on the Fourth and com
bined business with pleasure by
purchasing largely/of the match
less bargains we are giving, one
would naturally expect business
to be a little slack now; but not
so, we’ve enjoyed a steady output
of unmatchable merchandise ev
ery day since the memorable 4th.
Do you ask “How’s that?’’
Dead easy, listen: Havingsecured
from first hands some entire lots
of Men’s Pants, Men’s and Chil
dren’s Suits, Gents’ and Ladles’
shoes, uents and Ladies9 Under
wear, Shirts, Neckwear, Handker
chiefs, etc., at ylrtually our own
price, we have, In order to equal
ise values throughout our entire
establishment, cut down prices on
all regular goods, and by this
means secured to our customers,
on almost everything we sell, an
average In price IJiat Is unap
proachable by our competitors.
So lt9s dead easy to see why
there’s no let-up In our business.
