NO VERDICT YET IN JIM READ CASE REMNANT SALE WHITE GOODS - —— Friday 9 to 12 A. M. We almost hesitate to announce remnants of white goods again for to morrow. To the layman—the person who cannot see the daily workings of a depart ment like the white goods; the many transactions; the outgoing of hundreds and hundreds of yards—the accumulation of remnants in a week s time would seem an impossibility. The majority of white weaves come in pieces of 24 yards and 5 or 10 yards the majority of the sales. Two 10-yard sales, and there you are—a. - 4-yard short length. Remnants and short lengths would soon out run the regular stock if we did not keep a close watch on them. We’re obliged to have white goods remnant sales. We can’t help it. But we are going to confine this sale to the limits of 9 to 12 Friday morning. ^ , Remnants in Lengths From 2 to 4 \ Yards Mercerised Persian Lawn. Pajama Cloth. Mercerised Batiste.
