Results have been mar-velously astonishing, and if we have failed in our efforts to please you the crowds do not indicate it.

We are in the field for your good will and patronage as long as we can show you the merits of the special efforts that give you such specially low prices You can do nothing better than look up our big stock and its twenty-five departments for reputable merchandise always under price.
