GALLANT-BELK COMPANY BELK’S WILL KEEP FAITH WITH THE PUBLIC Jt has been the policy of the Belk organization at all times to carry large stocks of merchandise. / The same policy prevails at the present time, and our huyers have combed the markets for four months preparing for the Fall season, which is right on us. This merchandise has not been purchased at advanced prices, but was selected carefully as to style and quality in a very calm manner during this period. Today we have all of our stores teeming with merchandise. . # Goods have been too cheap. The manufacturers have not been able to make any money for several years and have been forced to sell their goods at prices that have not netted them a profit. This whole picture, however, is changed today. There has been wild speculation in merchandise. In some instances prices may have been advanced all out of pro portion. j [ - ' l However, we wish to state that it shall be the policy of the Belk organization not to advance one item in our stores a penny unless we are forced to go on the market to replenish stocks, and then we will price same in proportion to the purchase price. * i GALLANT-BELK CO. i W.
