OUR annual stack-taking here mean a quick good-bye to practically all linen of mer-
chandise in this great -establishment. It is not a sale confined to slow selling lines
surpluses and odds and ends generally in all departments but a sale all-inclusive. The price
knife has been used freely on all merchandise in every department. We are making this an
event when original costs are wholly ignored a "harvest-time" for the man woman
even child alert to save.
The year 1916 was a great year in this store great in volume of sales and in the vol-
ume of new permanent trade acquired. Therefore the prices in this Pre-Inventory Sale
drop to less than the maker's cost in many instances I
