EIGHT Wise Economy Talks No. 20 Our Great Profit Sharing Sale Is Setting a Killing Pace-But the .Signal is up for a Clear Track and We Are Going to Continue the Speed if We Wreck the Train. Overwhelming is the Evidence of Our Superiority. Magnificent is our array of values— Unequaled is our stock of merchandise -Unheard of is our manner of slaughtering Prices. Decisive Beyond All Question of Doubt Our Determination To Excel AH Thoughts of Regular Profits Have Long Been Forgotten We announced this wonderful Profit Sharing Sale with hut one thought before us Get rid of this enormous stock of merchandise reg vrdless of any thought of profit. It was a certain thing that profits would be hard to get this season —-since this sale opened this lias been demonstrated time and time again. Money is scarce—it is likely to be scarcer—the cotton mar ket is on the downward path—where it will go, no one knows. In face of conditions which we have no control over, people must stop to consider when spending the dollars that arc not so plentiful as they usually are at this season of the year. Is it any won. der that people flock here and have been flocking here now for 15 days? Is it any wonder that you hear it on the streets, at the fireside, in the country, “Do you know that the best place in Augusta to trade today is at the Wise Dry Goods Company?” We say again, is it any wonder? Certainly not. A dol lar is worth only what it will buy—How far your dollar goes depends upon where you spend it and its a sure dead mortal cinch that if you spend it here !t will travel the longest route that any dollar ever traveled. If You Don’t Live in Au gusta You Can Trade Here Just send us your order—we are ready to do your shopping for you,and guarantee you satisfaction. Special prices for the day are always yours if you shop by mail. Try once and see what it means—trade in a City Store, even though you don’t live in the City. A TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE OF THE MOST DEPENDABLE MERCHANDISE Thi* Store sets the pace. No one doubts this. Things are humming here every day. The joyous music of Rich and Rare Bargains are welcome tunes to the Economic Ear. Readily the people respond to the Bona Fide Bargains offered here. It is one thing to throw out a few leaders on staple merchandise as a bait, and another thing to take a huge stock of merchandise like this and cut deep into the prices right in the season. It is the unprecedented cutting upon all dependable merchandise that is the secret of our ever wonderful success and our success right now is an important thing to you, for it means a big saving in the cost of living for you, and never a time since the Civil War, when you were face to face with the living proposition as you are today.
