at which time we will add
to our already large stock a
mammoth stock of

And in order to make room for them
we are compelled to make sacrifices
on our Queensware and reduce it to
one-half its present size. This is no
fake sale, but a reality. Come at
once and get prices and see the money
you can save. Remember every-

we must get it out of the way.
