FRIDAY’S NEWS
Will Contain an Interesting
Message to
MEN AND YOUNG MEN!
The Weather Man upset our
calculations!
We bought heavily of fall
and winter clothing. Then
mild weather lingered on
through October and Novem
ber. Our sales fell far below
expectations.
Now Thanksgiving is here
and we have on our hands a
huge quantity of new merchan
dise that should have moved
before Turkey Day.
The situation requires ac
tion. And we have decided
to take the bull by the horns.
* * * *
In Friday’s News we will
announce a CUT-PRICE SALE
so sweeping in its scope and so
drastic in price-reductions that
it must assuredly command
YOUR attention.
We could use a lot of super
latives in describing this sale,
such as “Sensational! Specta
cular! Unprecedented!” but
we’re not going to do it. We
are merely going to announce
the reduced prices, along with
the decide regular for prices, yourself and let you
whether
this sale will not present a
golden opportunity to save
money on new, honest mer
chandise.
♦ * * *
We occupy a small floor
space, out of the high rent
district. We have exceeding
ly low overhead expense. This
enables us to mark our REGU
LAR PRICES at a small mar-
gin of profit. And when we
tell you price reductions at our
sale wilt range from 10 to 100
per cent under regular price,
you can appreciate the values
we will offer.
* * * *
For instance, we will offer
one lot of
MEN’S AND YOUNG MEN’S
80 Two-P^nts Suits
for
$13.95
* * * *
<
And here will be a few
other extraordinary values that
are orJy typical of the many
to be found:
John B. Stetson Hats
Values up to $8, for
$4.95
All-Wool
Shaker Sweaters
$10 values, for
$6.95
All Men’s $5.00 Shoes for
Others as low as $2.95.
'Guaranteed absolutely all
leather.
♦ * * *
Friday’s issue of The News
will tell you when the sale
starts and give full details and
prices. It wiU pay you to read
it carefully.
