THOS. FAHY.
Our knowledge of the Dry
Goods business is not con
fined to mere merchandise.
We know communities as we
do stocks. Observation of
the retail trading traits and
characteristics of various
cities is an important ele
ment in the science of selling.
This study shows that the
women of Rome have better
judgment of style, and a
clearer idea of values than
the women of any other city
in this State. Thus it is
that wild business methods
that win success elsewhere
fail here completely. The
retailer who hopes to catch
the flood of fortune through
the capture of reckless buyers
by crazy schemes find his
Waterloo in Rome. Clerks
who come here from other
places are obliged to learn
the notions of refinement and
skill by which our customers
determine questions of taste
and of values. For these
reasons we prize the senti
ment, even more than money
returns, that stamps broadly
and deeply upon this business
of ours the approval of the
women of Rome.
bbest vaeues ever oi-eered.
The newspapers abound
with bold and grotesque an
nouncements reciting the at
tractions ? and advantages?
of job lots of Dry Goods se
cured at auction. For the
most part these advertise
ments are absolute insults to
the intelligence und frugality
of buyers. Frequently they
are odds and ends of unde
sirable and unworthy stuff
that arediigh at any price.
No use of our warning the
public. The public in this
vicinity is unusually alert to
fakes and humbugs. You
know the true from the
false.
When we told the people
that we would for a limited
time sell our entire stock at
and below actual New York
cost, there was an immediate
response, and the crowds are
still coming, and saving
money by doing so. Others
advertise every day in the
year to sell at cost and the
announcement doesn’t create
the slightest impression
tempts no one. Why? You
may answer the question for
yourself. It’s easy enough
for anybody to fathom.

To what has been said in
the opposite column we want
to add that one grand con
clusion comes from such
thoughts, it is that increased
effort shall command greater
approval,* and thus lead the
way to even larger success.
Honest and manly pride is
inspired by the continuous
growth of our business. It
incites to greater achieve
ments. The motive power
of it all is found in the verdict
of intelligent and economical
women. This store was
founded firmly on fixed prin
ciples, and through all the
vicisitudes and changes of its
experience we have never
evaded, deviated, tricked or
compromised our conscience
one jot. We had an ideal in
heart and brain, and during
all these years have been try
ing to attain it. You are
helping us every day.
Riper knowledge, keener
skill, better methods, safer
facilities, tentative work,
sincere effort and proper
endeaver push us onward and
upward. We easily main
tain pronounced leadership.
We continue the magnetic
cost sale. The following are
some of the stocks subject to
the sacrifice: Dress Goods,
Silks, Wraps, Blankets,
Table Linens, Linens for
Fancy work, Gloves, Hand
kerchiefs, Hosiery, Ribbons,
Trimmings, Underwear,
Carpets, Rugs, Curtains,
Shades, Linoleums and the
like. Remember that when
you come here you are shown
nothing but bright, fresh,
perfect and thoroughly up
to-date goods bought at the
lowest possible prices from
the foremost importers, man
ufacturers and jobbers in this
country.
Everything you buy at
Fahy’s is dependable and
right. If you find itj other
wise, bring your purchase
back and get your money.
We’d rather lose a sale than
risk your confidence. ' Mon
day will be another gala day,
and we advise all who can
conveniently do so to shop in
the morning—the earlier the
better —for you and for us.
There are more and richer
chances here for money
saving than ever before. Not
a thing missing.
