MISTAKE MADE IN LOUIS
STEIN’S ADVERTISEMENT
In the last issue of the News, two
mistakes were made in the advertise¬
ment of Louis Stein's.
In one place the ad read, a big lot
of ladies’ shoes, $3.00 and $4.00 values
now $4.9S. The price should have
been quoted at 98 cents.
In another place it read, A big lot
of Mens’ suits for 98 cents and the
price should have been quoted at $4.98.
The prices quoted wrong was caused
by transposing the figures of the two
items. We regret that the proof rea¬
der failed to get the errors.
