Throwing aside all precedent and the policy which has characterized the Lundguist-Lilly store, for so many years, and following the lead of the greatest merchants in the country in their attempt to stop the ever-rising cost of merchandise, we have determined to reduce our prices to a level which has not been known for a very long time. Starting Today and Continuing for a Limited Period Every Garment no", erst" Will Be Sold to the Men and. Boys of Seattle at a Straight o NeEQGUCTION: Never once during the eight-year history of this great clothing store has there ever been what is commonly called a “sale.” Our method of pricing every garment to sell at the lowest possible margain of profit has simply made a “reduction sale” an impossibility. And the great event which starts today cannot properly be called a “sale” in the ordinary sense. IT IS MORE! It is an appreciation by the Lundquist-Lilly store that things are due for a change—it is a determination on their part to be in the lead with other great merchants throughout the country in doing a Popular Thing at the Popular Time. But don’t mistake the motive. Manufacturers’ prices have not dropped. It is a positive fact that clothing offered to us for Fall selling is priced Higher by the wholesalers than the same goods are priced right today on our floor. But With Our Tremendous Stock Amounting to Over Half a Million Dollars which was bought so well, so wisely, and so far ahead of the market, we are able to make this undoubted sacrifice to fill the present demand for lower prices and still have a great stock to carry on with. ‘ONE-FIFTH OFF LUNDQUIST-LILLY ROCK BOTTOM PRICES is an opportunity which we know the men and boys of Seattle will be quick to appreciate as one of remarkable significance—an opportunity of buying high-grade clothing at prices which have not been quoted for a very long time. Come up during the early part of the day—our salesmen will be taxed to the limit. Upstairs Green Building
