Sale still Going on
Our customers have shown
such appreciation for the wonder-
I ful bargains offered them in our
gre^t Loom End Sale that many
things wera entiely sold out be-
fore half the people were sup-
plied. As we told you in last
weeks Post-Herald, we have
sent telegrams to the mills to
duplicate our former orders. The
invoices for these shipments
have already been received and
the goods are now on the road.
We confidently expect them to
arrive not later than tomorrow.
^Tien they come they will be
sold at the same unreard-of-
prices that our first shipment
went at.
But even this second shipment
will not last long and you will
have to be on hand to get these
sioods. First come, first served.
One of our good customers yes-
terday wanted to deposit his
check and have us save some of
these bargains for him. The peo-
ple are just beginning to realize
what a money-saver this sale is
for them.
This has been one of the most
successful sales we have ever
held. Necessity has compelled
the people to economize and they
have not been slow to recognize
the savings to be made in buying
at this great sale. The large
number of green packages seen
on the streets even* day shows
where the people are buying
their goods.
Just follow the crowd and you
will make no mistake. It will
lead you to the great Loom End
Sale.
