The time for Clearance Sales has moved up a month or move. Formerly September, then July. The factory agents
are even out selling fall goods before the selling Summer Stuff began, even now solicitations are made tor next
delivery. The wheels are spinning. To keep pace with this Clearance Sales, swift and
tat, is now the order. Nothing is to be carried over. So profitless is this sale to us that no goods
can be charged or sent see at July Clearance Sale prices. We have planned to sell all Summer Goods, have taken
into d consideration the great loss of profit at such reduction as we are making means. We take the loss cheerfully, wisely,
believing it to be the best kind business sens to clean up all summer goods at a sacrifice, and do it while the wearing is at its height.
