Atlanta New York , Paris A Summer Sale of Blankets In Which The Actual Savings Are One Fonrtli to OncTliird Winter Prices Our only reason for exploiting a sale of blankets right now in the heat of summer is based on the actual service we can do our customers. When we say that this sale brings savings of one-fourth and one-third regular winter prices, we speak advisedly. We are putting in print, that all may read, what you will find in reality when you visit the blanket department. And in this day and time when household necessities are offered at such savings, thrifty and smart housekeepers are not slow in fol lowing up the opportunity. The sale covers the blanket question in a broad, wholesome fash ion. It offers blankets in practically every size and in all good qualities. The prices are so small because— —There are a number of blankets that came to us as samples. They have been included and marked with no idea of profit—they are one of a kind. —There are others, small lots of two, three and four that remained from our winter stocks. And you who bought then are in a good po sition to judge for yourselves how worth-while are the savings of this sale. —There are still other blankets that have become soiled to the extent that we would not offer them as perfectly fresh. These have been subjected to the greatest reductions of all. From your viewpoint a very happy combination of conditions has made the prices. Think now of your next winter needs and when blanket time comes you will appreciate the opportunity that this store now offers. The sale starts when the store opens tomorrow at 8 o’clock. Besides the regulation blankets you will find Porch Blankets at $1.50 and $1.95 These days, when the call of out door sleeping is heard by so many light weight blankets are in great demand. But regardless of de mand this sale brings them at a saving. They are cotton, of a weight that keeps out the chill and in the colors that will not quickly soil—tan, brown, red, blue and gray.
