The Fourth After Supper Sale is on Saturday Night at 7 P- m.
Almost unnecessary to advertise this event, It has already secured a following who have found it pays to
be on hand bright and early at these week-end merchandising events.
Some of our best departments made liberal contributions of good merchandise for this week's-end sale and we
didn't take the prices that they carried but made our own, for the After Supper Sale must give you goods at a lower
valuation than you can buy under any other circumstances.
A slow old-time merchant would be horrified at the way we put prices on the toboggan at these After Supper
Sales. The After Supper Sale is certainly appreciated.
