The time for Clearance Sales has moved up a month or move. Formerly September, then August, now July. The factory agents
are even out selling fall goods before the selling Summer Stuff began, even now solicitations are made for next
delivery. The wheels commerce are spinning. To keep pace with this Clearance Sales, swift and
fast, is order. Nothing is to be carried over. So profitless is this sale to us that no goods
can be charged to see at July Clearance Sale prices. We have planned to sell all Summer Goods, have taken
