Seed'time and harvest under conditions of peaceful developments will be necessary before even an attempt can be made to reconstruct the prices of average merchandise; so any great drop in prices for next season is out of the question. The sale prices we quote therefore are subsequently less than their real worth—in many cases— we would be obliged to pay more. Our regular stock is sold down to odd lots and odd sizes, remnant lengths and some small assortments. These we offer at Clearance Prices.
