Anniversary Sale At Guinan's Will Start Tomorrow (Continued trom Page One) thirty-fifth anniversary of good service to the community and to this immediate section.

Primarily a Mount Carmel store, the Guinan store has become in actuality a Mount Carmel institution, a business place where generations have made their purchases and have been satisfied with the results. Here, for more than two scores of years, particular attention has been given to each department by an administration that knew the wants of the public and catered to them. The founders fully believed in satisfying the customer first and relegating themselves and the store to second 1 position and because of that, there has been a long line of family buying that has never been broken. Parents and their children, and then their children's children have been satisfied Guinan customers and patrons, and tomorrow's big sale will see them once again enjoying the thousands of Guinan bargains. More than ever before in the store's long and honorable history as a business institution of this community does the anniversary sale hold special significances, Quick to realize there would be sharp price increases when the winter markets were opened, the Guinan's stocked to buy before the rise would be reflected in advanced prices to their trade.

Now, these saving prices are slashed beyond all predictions, and to that end, the double savings are passed along to purchasers. Any losses will be shouldered by the store in its march of good will and this fact makes tomorow's sale one that is a remarkable factor in itself. Guinan's have always stood for Guinan quality, for valuable merchandise and for the good will of the public. This can be seen at a glance, and for that reason, it makes tomorrow's sale a not to be discounted. It remains the great sales attempt of the region and the many, many items priced for quick moving should be an incentive to all shoppers seeking the most for their money and the finest in quality.
