Did you ever hear Of
so many cut price sa les
as Thomsonhas? It is
really funny. Before
the season *bpens up
you hear of “cut prices”
"great reductions” etc.

the season, prices have been TOO HIGH or else the good®
were marked up for the purpose of being marked down
again. Always bear in mind that we only ask a small pro
fit and mark our goods accordingly, and this is the power
that forces “cut price” sales and “great reductions,
