CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE
ATTRACTS LARGE AUDIENCE.
which starte'd Tuesday, Nov. 1G
HKIU: A Kti THE FACTS! ,
There's no use beating about the bush, or giving evasive reasons for such '
it general clearance, right in the heart of the season.
American Industry is slowed up! And only the retailer can remove the
dam which is blocking progress.
After merchants had bought their high-priced shoes for Fall 1920, made
from hides that cost 50c a pound, the hide and leather markets broke.
The influx of 'South American hides had much to do with this.
Then came the re-action in the public's mind. The need of economy '
has taken the place of free and easy spending that held sway, for so long.
People no longer want to pay the highest possible prices for what they
buy. In plain words "American Common Sense" has come back to its
rightful place.
But before Industry can "get going" there must be a demand for mer-
chandise. Before Retailers can place orders the merchandise in stocky
MUST BR SOLD!
True, it calls for courage, and a spirit of sacrifice, but every loyal Ameri
can will be GLAD to "do his bit," oven as he helped throughout the war.
This Liquidation Sale is our share in the good work of Speeding Up
America.
It's costing us our profits but it's giving you very low prices for very fine
shoes.
Every pair you buy now SAVES MONEY FOR YOU, and will work clear
back to the manufacturer, and to the man who produces the raw mater
ials. It's the greatest sale we've ever held andthe greatest sacriflc we have
ever made. Come! Save for yourself! Help others! And above all
"Speed Up America."
