Breaking the Record in Buying tit
Erandeis Stores has for several weeks been breaking' the
record in buying. It will break the record in selling during
the two weeks beginning Monday, May 16.
You have not forgotten that for two weeks during: the month
of May, 1920, Brandeis Stores offered to the public its entire
stock of merchandise at a 30 per ccat discount. "What mer
chandise! What bargains!" were common exclamations.
Brandeis Stores transacted a larger volume of business than dur
ing any two weeks in its history.
Since the first of May, 1920 (the high peak of wholesale
and retail prices), and the first of May, 1921, radical changes
have occurred. According to a recent statement by the Federal
Reserve Board retail prices have decreased during the period
mentioned above, about 38 per cent. The commercial reports
of Dun give the reduction at 30 per cent. Bradstreet says that
even greater decrease has taken place, namely 41 per cent.
It is true that this store has been selling its merchandise
lower than a year ago. These prices are lower by at least as
great a percentage as those given by the Federal Reserve Board
and commercial agencies. In some instances the reductions have
been even greater than those above enumerated. For instance
we have been selling many lines at one-half the price and less
than half the prevailing price in 1920. We claim no credit or
mark of distinction for this purely good store-keeping proposi
tion.. It is m line with our well settled policy of serving ourselves
by serving our customers.
