a  PRICE 

Nothing  is more  uncertain  these 
days  than  "price."  The price  of  any 
article  today, is liable to change with 
in  an  incredibly  short  time.  This  is 
true  in  practically  all  lines  of  mer 
chandise. 

Only  one thing regarding  "price" 
is  reasonably  certain,  and  that  is, 
that  whenever  any  change  comes  it 
is sure to  be  "upward." 

Fortunately  for  this  store and  its 
patrons,  we  protected 
ourselves 
against  unusual  price  conditions  by 
placing  early  and  extensive  orders 
with  the  result  that  now, much of our 
merchandise  is  being  sold  to  you  at 
prices  lower 
today's  market 
value.
