Brown-McDonald's Annual Pre-Inventory
■K,
* 1 '
Once a year, at inventory time, we've got to face cold facts, and this year they seem colder than ever before. Odds and ends, poor styles, bad colors and "war
qualities" we had hoped to sell are still here — you've been too smart. But we can't and won't inventory them, we hope. To clean 'em out, and quick, we've cut
prices 'way down for a two-day inventory clearance Friday and Saturday of this week. We won't try to kid you for you've already proved you can judge values —
we're not quoting comparative prices, but we honestly believe the low prices on the selected odd lots make them reasonable values. And don't come expecting
unlimited choice of the stock at these reductions. We're not dopes, either.
