But, ness as everyone knows, busi- this summer has not been nearly as good as was expected, and the result is that Archibald finds himself now with a great deal more merchandise and a_ great deal less cash on hand that good business principles will permit. So in order to restore the proper balance, Archibald has decided to sacrifice his merchandise. He doesn't expect to make profit—that isn't what he is after—the {dea is to get cash, and to accomplish this without delay Archibald will put such prices on fine made-to-order clothing as will be a revelation to the discriminating dressers of Seattle.
