FAIR WARNING! PONT WAIT!
Do your fall trading early tuis fall. Again we say that we have not marked our pi ices up. We
have only advanced prices when forced to, by having to pay the advance ourselves.
The greater portion of our stock is now offered at the same prices, when conditions were no.-
mal, owing to the fact that we made very large contracts for future shipments, based on lower prices.
We are going to give iQ customers the benefit of our foresight. Again we say DON'T WAIT, although we have a very large stock, the low prices
will move them out quickly. Our business for the past eight months surpassed all records, which proves the merit of this store's policy.
