The hardest part about keeping a store is having to raise price?. We don't
like to do it, but steadily rising costs have forced us to do so more frequently
these days.
However, we believe that our patrons would rather have us maintain our
usual standard of good quality even at slightly higher prices than to present them
with inferior grades of merchandise.
Just now the store is radiant with bright, new Fall goods, and we want you
to come in and see these offerings to compare our prices with those found else
where. Prices in thee showings are less reasonable than in past Autumns, but
