S Alteration Sale
in Clothing Dept.
This immense section of our main floor, every counter of it
piled high with reliable clothing for youths' men and boys, must
undergo an immense thinning of stocks before the movers and
carpenters can get in among the counters.
Huge plate glass cases are brittle ware enough to push
around when empty, we cannot risk mussing fine goods, so we
close out two-thirds of the stock in the department alone. Will
cut, clip, hack and smash up prices unmercifully to attain our
purpose. Make it easier for the carpenters, don't you see?
