In August 1948, as in Every August,
Mays’ Stores are Reducing Prices on
Home Furnishings.
All during the month of August, yon will find ssany worthwhile bargains, but
It will pay you to shop early for best selections, as many items will move out
fast at these low prices. The wholesale markets are firm and do not justify
any reductions—in fact much of our stock does not reflect the more recent
advances, thir being especially true in rugs and carpets. Yet we are making
reductions on many items of Furniture, Rugs, Carpet and appliances.

see for yourself that they are worth much more than we
