The Holiday
rierchandising
Has Begun.
Saturday, December 3, is the day upon which we formally introduce our vast
assortments of holiday merchandise to the purchasing- public. We need not
go into detail about this annual event, this event that everybody within reach
of this store has learned to look forward to with the keenest interest. We
will say that this year's stocks are larger, we have more room and many
more salespeople. You may infer from this that we expect a larger business
than ever. That's the very reason for our holding the opening earlier than
usual, we know the volume of business will be the greatest we have ever
known and by giving people an early opportunity to make selections, those
who take advantage of it may avoid the tremendous rush always attending
our holiday selling. We will gladly lay aside your purchases and reserve
them or you until you are ready for them.
STORE CLOSES AS USUAL AT 6 P. M., EXCEPT SATURDAY'S'
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
