Write or phone Franklin 7400, ‘Washington—New York—Paris Established 1860 > STORE NEWS for Monday, January 23, 1922 'Franklin 7400 420-30 Seventh Street Northwest Starting Monday, An Intensive Six-Day Drive to Reduce Stocks A good merchant is just as careful about having a clean stock as a good housewife is about having a clean house. The weapon used by one is REDUCED PRICES. The weapon used by the other is usually a HOOVER VACUUM SWEEPER (we have both). The purpose is the same. Thoroughness in every detail. The merchandise is equally as good now as it was a month ago. Your needs now are equally as urgent as they were a month ago, but the price is much lower compared with a month ago. It isn’t a question of price with us—it is a question of effecting a complete clearance dur- ing this week, and these prices will not fail to do it. ! Where certain departments have now an accumulation of winter merchandise we have filled in with several special purchases, and the note of economy will ring out clear and true at the ridiculously low prices we shall ask for these new things. Make no mistake about it, we are going into this sale with our sleeves rolled up! It’s going to be a real sale with real - savings. The prices, quoted will emphasize that fact. Coming early tomorrow? Men who know quality will buy these Shirts by the half dozen Good Shirts at $1.39 It's a selling that no man should overlook, for it brings the better qualities in high-count madras, pique and percale—and a pattern and color selection hard to beat. GOOD SHIRTS—by that we mean well- made shirts, that show careful finishing touches, liberal proportions, full-length “skirts,” five- button fronts and French cuffs. Neckbands 14 to 17 inches. How about it, Men; do you care for quality in your shirts? Then, come down tomorrow and stock up. $ Direct Street Entrance to Men's Shop-—off Seventh : 4 \ Pre-Inventory Sale Offers A Box of High-Grade Writing Paper for 79C Formerly priced $1.50.
