SIXTH FLOOR. Do you know what a waffle rosette is? We didn’t, but the buyer tells us it’s an aluminum gadget that makes sort of sissy- looking waffles. Started out to be 35¢, now a 5c SIXTH FLOOR. These misses’ Spring coats were once featured in the fashion magazines—we think most likely Godey’s Lady Book. The buyer (the old smoothie) says they’re just a trifle wilted! Sizes SECOND FLOOR. There’s a long song and dance about this black swagger type suit. We made it specially for a customer (size 40 and fussy). When she saw the $59.75 price tag she balked. This hlppened one Spring. If the suit fits you, our price modest SECOND FLOOR. Axminster scatter rugs— and we’d like to scatter the shattered frame of the mis- guided buyer who brought them into the store we love.

We're up to our eyebrows in doeskin gloves for women —soiled doeskin, doeskin in sizes for Singer’s midgets, doeskin without a pedigree. They started life at $1.59 and $1.95 a pair. Now only STREET FLOOR. Maybe stout little boys know they look pretty funny in wash knickers. We hope you won't let per- sonal vanity stand in the way. We have several pairs, sizes 10 to 12, we’ll 79 part with for only. C STREET FLOOR. Leather-like sheep-lined coats, sizes 10 to 20—just a slight lapse on some- body’s part. Anybody would expect to get real leather for $7.95. That’s we've marked these ::yl' coats down $3.95 STREET FLOOR. Button - on blouses for little boys—and here we are without anybody to but- ton them to. If your youngster has a pair of pants, the least you can do 1s help us out.

They aren’t bad looking, just not very in- teresting. That's why you can buy them for, 34c STREET FLOOR. Apparently the day for buying stone and brick fire- places at $72.50 went out when we stopped having two chickens in every ga- rage. We think you’ll sit up and take notice now that SIXTH FLOOR.

If you're a public- spirited citizen perhaps you'll donate them to the cit; Anyway, they were originally $9.95 $12.95, now SIXTH FLOOR. Here’s a bunch of lamp shades, all with something slightly wrong with them. Some are too little and some are too big and some are too bright and some are too dull.

Not quite enough like leather would be our guess—and just a little too much sheep. Sizes Sourstor - $3.95 STREET FLOOR. 12 Flannel Sport Coats for men—in plain gray— nothing much wrong with them that we can see. They started life at $12.50 and they ought to make some sport happy at $3-69 STREET FLOOR. Personally we wouldn't be caught dead in these hats or scarf sets—but there’s no accounting for people’s tastes. If you thinY: you'd like one to give to that unpleasant cousm of yours, Windsor chairs of solid maple finished in walnut. Sound pretty nice in print. They’re slightly shaky to sit on, thougfh. But lyou do save money—formerly $3.95, now $l-99 FIFTH FLOOR. Whnt'n a cottage set without a cottage? That’s our problem—12 sofas with matching chairs looking very lonely and depressed. Nothing wrong except ;19 .95 was too much money or the quality. Now they’re. $8 95 FIFTH rwo& Something rotten in the state of Denmark—at least, these men’s lounge suits will not entirely rot if some charitable soul doesn’t ‘buy :h%‘m :or Poppa. Just a rifle fancy. ‘Were $20, now $12-95 STREET FLOOR. Chamois twill flannelette nightshirts sound pretty horrible to us. Apparently you think so, too, because we have a lively stock of them. Dandy for playing host. Sizes g:“nlsta mlrked $1 19 STREET FLOOR. The manufacturer didn’t mix quite enough wool with these wo ol-mixed socks. Also the patterns are just a wee bit off-color.
