There are Advantages in Kaufman’s August Fur Sale No Other Sale Can Have The stock is here to prove beyond doubt everything we tell you about this sale. 'We have made our pur- chases only after long and careful shopping, and selected garments of choice furs, excellent workmanship and proven wearing qualities. Our selling prices are based on a very low percentage of mark-up, and, quality considered, we know our prices are lowest in the city. . Every garment is brand new, this season’s approved style, and embraces a com- plete and perfect view of the fur modes. We ask you to compare our quality and prices before buying anywhere. The Service Charge on Checking Accounts Every story must have a hero. Ours is old, commonplace John Doe. John walked into the butcher’s shop to buy some steak. He laid down a half-dollar and carried away a small brown package. Now John knew his package didn’t contain a whole half-dollar’s worth of steak. He was aware that the meat probably didn’t cost the butcher over 30 cents. The rest went to pay the butcher’s rent, his light bill, his clerk and finally his own profit. To John this seemed perfectly proper and he was satisfied. A few blocks down the street, John walked into his bank. The cashier greeted him with some news. “John,” he said, “you have a checking account here that averages less than two hundred dollars and you draw a dozen or more checks a month. We furnish you with a pass book, check books, deposit slips, a statement of your account and sundry miscellaneous services. We have invested heavily in vaults to keep your money safely; we hire tellers to take in your deposits and pay your checks; we pay bookkeep- ers to furnish you a nice record of your account. Now, John, all this costs monhey, yet your account produces less than a dollar gross income each month. You can see for yourself, John, that we are losing money on that account.” John saw the point, so he inquired “What do you want me to do about it?” “Well,” said the cashier, “we expect you to do one of two things; either keep a balance large enough, fo meet our expense in Savings accounts do not fall under this rule.

We won't attempt to make a profit like your butcher and baker, but we shall try at least to break even.” “You are entirely right,” said John. “When my balance can’t earn interest enough to carry its ex- pense, I certalnly want to pay its way. It's worth something to me'to have my money safe and be able to pay my bills by check.” § John is our hero, but he is merely one of thoumds in the great army of fair-minded people who would not willingly cause a loss to anyone and who are not asking for charity. The service charge or a compensating balance is the fair solution of the problem of small checking accounts. We are sure that you, like John Doe, see the justice of this requirement. Whatever ‘your type, whatever you intend to spend on furs—this sale will be of the utmost benéfit to you. : The Benefits of Advance Choosing First pick of the large, untouched stock at the low sale price.
