Clearaway of Street and Evening Dresses
It happens to-morrow—-the Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co. clear
away of street and evening dresses, which is one way of saying that many
smart women are going to save handsomely on those dresses that Christ
mas occasions make necessary. The clearaway is planned in the big, gen
erous way of all Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co. sales.
Do you know what that means? *
It means that price cuts are decisive, that the savings are great, com
pelling; which, taken with the fact that the dresses are those we selected
for the good company of our regular stocks, lends finality to the announce
ment as nothing else could. But meager and general descriptions of the
dresses can find place here—too many of them, and hardly two alike. And
then their beauty and their worth are told in their former prices.
They are the charmingest we could find to sell at their former prices.
