It has Ihhmi tlie custom of this store, for 11 number of year#, to have a spe cial selling event during the Fall ami Winter months. Conditions at the be ginning of the season, this year, brought us face to face with a serious problem to solve. 1 could not bring myself to the point of breaking in on this established custom, and especially this season, when it would mean so much? ? -more than ever before ? to my customers nnd friends who have been so loyal to this store. I was face to face with the problem of advanced prices- on every hand. Husjness was u<mm|.; hut. in spite of conditions, I was not lone in making up my mind that (his big ;u;lling event would be hehl this year the same as In previous years, and began making pre parations for il early. I could see the Idg advance in price coming ? I could s<*e no help for it, due to the enormous demand and the many complications that have come before the manufactur ers, jobbers and the dealers In the raw materials. I searched the markets ear ly, made purchases far ahead as I could. That. I was fortunate in this can la'st be told by a visit to this big store. No line of merchandise In this store today but is worth more than 1 paid for It. I consider this my good fortune, as I am in position to hold to the old selling price. Having paid but very little advance, naturally you will not Ih\ asked to pay the advanced prhvs If you trade here. As I make this announcement, 1 feel that there is nothing too strong to be said In favor of your taking advantage of this big selling event. It means a saving that everyone will appreciate; and today, with the buying public so well educated as to values In merchan dise. 1 feel that the values I have will be appreciated more than ever before. We must not overlook the fact that the crop is short. To offset this, cotton and seed Is bringing a big. price. This means much to the consumer, and when taking into consideration with the oi> ? portunihy to trade at this live store, I feel sure of my statement, made at the head of this ad. "That, never before in the history of this store have I ever come to you with an announcement as Important as this onc."^ The consumer never was In (Hisltion to invest his mo ney to better advantage.
