It's the Dawn of a
NE W YEAR!
'THE PAST year has been filled with per-
plexing problems in the merchandising
field ranging from manufacturing, and a
consequent shortage of goods in the markets
tf the world, to importation and transporta
tion and with it all a constantly increasing
price-level. Truly, the difficulties have been
many and varied!
THE PRESENT day shows the year just
ended to have lpeen far and away the
largest in the store's history, in spite of the
conditions which had to be overcome. For
this, we have only our friends and cus
tomers to thank; and we are deeply grate
ful to them each and every one!
HHE FUTURE carries with it a promise
on our part of greatly enlarged floor
space one J entire floor immediately and
other floors to be added during the coming
summer. With the increased room will come
many improvements we have long desired to
make all intended for your convenience and
comfort.
It carries, too, another promise on our
part and that is honest merchandising and
honest advertising! '
The Happiest of Happy
New Years to our friends
and a Prosperous one
is the wish of

Peace Won't Affect Trade .
Between U. S. and Germany
Washington Dc. 31. Exchange
of ratifications of the peace treaty
will have no immediate effect upon
American trade with , Germany it
was said in official circles. )
All restrictions on trade with Ger
many except on imports of dyes and
coal tar products and exerts I ot
wheat were removed by the war
trade board. July" 14, and so far as
the Unitd States is concerned any
thing from matches td 6-inch guns
may be shipped to that country. .
The rate of exchange is an ob
stacle to trade, officials said, and a
rise in the value of marks through
stabilization of conditions in Ger
many and the production of goods
for export is the only method by
which commerce can be restored to
normal.
