Let us warn our customers that they will now hear sale here and sale there from this
merchant and that one You will hear 20 off and 10 off all struggling to get from
under the load on a downward market Beware of the sensational advertiser -—
watch him closely The flight of prices continue downward and will until they find
their level when of course the market will become staple This store has stood the
test of all the years No competition has ever yet successfully attacked us Through
i these trying times you can still trust in us to have the BEST GOODS AT THE VERY
LOWEST MARKET PRICES We will not be undersold on this market even though
we lose thousands of dollars Our customers that have year in and year out trusted in us cannot afford now to be
misled We match the lowest prices always in many instances we are way lower Our ability to pay spot cash
enables us to replace merchandise at the very lowest prices Our big volume enables us to soon recover from the
tremendous drop that is now upon us We insist that our' trade compare price for price quality for quality — the
acid test will still give us your trade

Did you ever look through this great shoe stock? You hear about great reductions
from other stores Well they may reduce They have been too high This store has
never and has not now got the big prices that were asked by some of them The re-
sult was that we held our trade and gained from then The reduction is now on many
numbers in shoes and we have it too Rest assured that we meet them all now and in
the future Compare a few of the prices here quoted with other stores

We cannot name all of the many low prices here but you will find
that this store is right every time regardless of sales and dis-
counts The drop is here and we are taking it as cheerfully as
oossible When it is over and the market levels so that we can go
forward with full confidence then we will all be better off In the
meantime buy your immediate needs only— let the merchant take
his loss The market may get lower
