There is much to be said-and yet little needs to be said-regarding the importance of this event. For- months we have been planning it, straining every valuable resource to make it our best, biggest and most helpful January Sale. And we are satisfied that the value-story told by the items that follow are convincing evidence that we have attained our point. The January Clearance Sale of 1 9 1 8 will be long remembered by the people of this community because it brings substantial savings on needed merchandise of the highest order, at a time when price concessions are prob- ably more appreciated than on any previous similar occasion-and when genuine bargains will be harder to find than ever. In addition to our regular stock, most of which we are offering at tremendous reductions, we have suc- ceeded in making several large special purchases that will put vigor and enthusiasm into every department. The greater part and the colder part of the winter is yet to come. Everybody needs good warm clothing, and there are always many home, as well as personal requirements to be filled after the Holidays. t False economy, (hoarding money and skimping on the necessities) , plays no part in' American life today. The spirit is "Earn, Save, Give." SATURDAY MORNING, JANEARY 5TH, THIS GREAT SALE OF AMERICAN GOODS BEGINS. AMERICA is "on trial"-the chief witness for the defense in the world's greatest crisis. It is the duty of every true patriot--of every one who has enjoyed so freely the vast resources of the country to save all they can on all their purchases.

'ti13 bear 3 CARY CLEARANC SALE

This announcement is what every Careful shopper has hoped for, yet has hardly dared to expect, for a mer- chandising effort of this scope could scarcely be looked for this year. Wholesale prices have soared, and many stores rind it difficult to offer any genuine bargains for January selling. We bought heavily however; therefore our usual clearance is necessary in many lines. Inasmuch as we have made it a point to confine our merchandise to the products of American manufacturers, we can truthfully and proudly point to this January Clearance as "A SALE OF AMERICAN GOODS.' When you buy at this sale you are putting your -shoulder to the wheel" of American industries. One of the greatest needs of the moment is to keep the wheels of American business turning at full speed. Buying at this sale means getting the greatest possible values for your money; buying here and now means getting American goods-the best in the world.
