It was indeed most gratifying to see the spontaneous re- sponse that was accorded this special sale event. You took us at our word and found that again we had exceeded all records of the past for value-giving. WE HAVE KEPT FAITH And the women of this community have shown by their active participation in our special sales that they have faith in us WE FORCED LOWER DRY GOODS IN EASTERN ONTARIO We were the first dry goods house in Eastern Ontario to - take the bull by the horns--we were severely criticized by competitors for demoralizing business, but we kept at it giving our customers the benefits of all revisions in prices as they were announced by the manufacturers and wholesaler. AND NOW on completing our inventory for the past year, we have written off thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of high-priced merchandise--re-priced it to meet the new price conditions for Spring, which we have every confidence in stating are rock-botton and cannot possibly go lower and in- deed if there should be any fluc tuation at all, economists tell us, it should be of an upward tendency. » NOW ! Ns that your dollar cannot Buy Now--Buy in Confidence | « The prices in every department of this store are from 33 1-3 to 60% lower than for last Fall--Staples, Linens, House Furnishings and Dry Goods average 33 1.3% lower; Silks and House Furnishings from 35 to 45% ready-to-wear and Millinery will be from 50 Start to-morrow with con fidence and do that long defer- red shopping, as we assure you, as a reputable business house, go farther any time during 1921--than to 60% lower.
