There are several reasons why our sale for this mo
previous efforts. In the first place, we never before had
of goad seasonable merchandise to offer as :we have at'
uevor before put prizes so low as we have now, and anthe feature 'iwe
'never before had so many people-toming to our Store for !clothing as we have
corning OUr way these days. :Each succeeding month bill gs .more people to
our store. -This must mean satisfied customers, and \\ as a result our businesi
growl; larger and larger. Naturally, we look for record business this month.
