Our -. annual clearance sale is a money-mak- ing and a money-saving proposition for those taking advantage of it. Consider- ing present market conditions this event will grow in fame as days pass by. We've entered upon a season when we are willing to do business without a profit to reduce our stock. It is hardly wise to let your attendance be governed only by your immediate needs. Our re- ductions are really lower than preced- ent required. You'd better buy -what" you are going to need in the future while this genuine money-saving oppor- tunity holds sway.
