SSananidLrr's. | The peculiar weatliery^ll in J I the midst of winter. YwtS . short the file of warmer I clothing of every sort. No j matter how cold the end of i i December' and January and February and March may ; be. the fact is fixed already |1 by the warm beginning that j hoti sands of people will bear I ;he cold with less precaution, i because it comes so slowly. Ye are hardened to the winer by long expecting winter, ! :id by its slow approach. j We therefore change the j •ujition of trade by making j .rices so low as to aaract | in willing buyers. Tlie hange is gradual, very gra J- j ' al. Indeed the change is a ss. l>ecatise we made low -rices months ago; lower 'ta:i ought to be made in tosperous times ; lower than • be made jn any but liamitous times, j. TKere is every reason to , ri.cve that wholesale prices ave got to the bottom. Raw Hit-rials of several sorts ; ivc begun to be firm . r nd some have begun to rise 1 he prices of nothing in trade aye risen. Prices are there } >re at the very bottom. I"he >nly further downward move :ients#are reasonably suhe to ■ * exceptional. Chances are | iverwhelmingly the other ■ -ay on everything. 1 >n the other hand the ..'obable beliavior of retail nerchants with bills to meet nd -stocks of goods on their tands is worth your thinking if. The'instant the stay of holiday trade is over there is •ure to be a general scram>le. Had you better wait or the chance of buying for ess? That is your question. Ve have answered it already; i ;nd this is only to keep the tnswer in mind. In the midst" t>f holiday rade upon goods adapted for gifts, when the store is looking uncommonly bright ■ with the glitter of gilts, wiiea thousands of givers arcthinking of bric-i-brac (I£\erything is bric-i-brac to us that belongs to a month before Christmas), when people throng the store to sec the spectacle, we are thinking of the solidest merchandise we dcaMn. We advertise cloths and 1 dress-stuffs. dresses and wraps, furs and overcoats, clothing for man, woman and child, gloves, hosiery, underwear. neckwear, laces, handkerchiefs, linens in general, bedding, mattresses, furniture, carpets and rugs, housekeeping conveniences, china, lamps, upholstery, books, writing-papers, stationer)' wa--s. pocket-books, bags, hats, shoes, umbrellas, Japanese wares, baskets, toilet articles. playthings, and a thousand more. Why? Because we are selling these things. liecause people are buying diem. We are giving die news of things that people are eager to hear about: such news as develops from -day to day in tbe store. The great majority not only of people but of prosperous people are buying substantial merchandise. Everybody seems to think it die time to buy. And this is our answer. ( lt u a good time to buy. We Know it from you. We have 1 done what we could to make it a good time to buy. We , did it, first, by gathering , bravely when most of the merchants were croaking 1 about hard times. We did , it, next, by selling for cost what we'd rather sell without profit than not sell at all. We did it, third, by taking out of the market whatever was tumbling. It is a good J rime to buy.
