Qiuattst
Not only a showing of the newest and most fashionable in
furs, but also an economy event, for .we offer our complete
new stock of furs at great reductions during this August sale.
$A0.(wgji iff,
You are invited to visit our Exhibition and Sale oj ? Luxurious Furs
which begins July Thirty-first 'in our Fur Shop on the Third Floor
It has been the custom of this store to hold
an August Fur Sale, not because furs are fash
ionable in August, but for the reason that
August, being one of the dull months of the
year, must have some incentive to stimulate
buying. In an effort to bring, up the volume
of business to nearer that , of other months,
merchants conceived the idea of making price
concessions on Furs purchased in August.
For this event the Burgess-Nash Company
has planned since a year ago,, keeping in
mind throughout that period the one idea of
giving to Burgess-Nash customers the best
values they could possibly buy anywhere this
season, and to give even better values this sea
son than they have ever before given in an
August Fur Sale. And we have succeeded.
Since the repeal of the 10 war tax and because of the lower
, price of furs, this year's prices will average at least 25 less
" :' than those of a year ago. And during this sale furs may be
J ; purchased at less than even the lowered prices of next Septem
1 ber. As to quality it is the opinion of the people in our fur, .
. ": department that better values have never been offere'd
in this store.
Ours are furs of quality, made from the finest pelts obtainable luxurious and in great variety.
They are beautiful models the new and the most fashionable. Her knowledge of styles will
tell a woman whether or not a garment is style correct, but rarely does she have the ability to
judge the intrinsic value of pelts. Consequently her purchase depends upon the trust she places
with the firm. Consider the assurance of quality carried in every purchase made under the name
Burgess-Nash, and then compare! s Compare prices with quality.
We are making it as easy as possible to purchase now while you may enjoy the advantages
of August prices. Our credit department will be glad to advise with those who desire to pur
chase furs on the partial payment plan. "
Advantages of Buying in This Sale
Prices are lower than they will be later on, selections are larger and finer,
for naturally the first garments include the pick of last year's pelts.
