NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1916. The Big Store’s General Inventory Sale COMMENCES THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 6th o j The Big Store’s Inventory Sale is a most comprehensive merchandising event, vastly more consequential than the ordinary Clearance sale, because our en- tire mammoth stocks occupying ten immense floors in the main building and five big floors in our annex, are involved in the sweeping price reductions. Practically every- thing in the store is marked down in price for the Inventory Sale, and at no time in this store’s history have the values offered been so pronounced, and the bargains of- fered will be doubly appreciated on account of the advncing market prices on most all merchandise.—WISE, SMITH & COMPANY, Hartford, Conn.
