If the first day is any criterion, our Bargain Basement sales for the com- ing year will, more than double even our highest estimate of possibilities. Prior to the opening of the New Bargain Basement we set one fixed merchandise principle—that there was a limit to cheapness, establishing the line where dependability ceased. We kept constantly in mind that you would not forgive us if we sold you trashy merchandise, even though we called it trash and sold it accordingly. uatrash That is why you will find merchandise in the Bar- gain Basement at prices only. as low as is consistent with dependability, and that prices will always be found-lower than you can buy goods of equal quality for elsewhere is our absolute guarantee. _ : You may positively take our prices—the standard of the merchandise—the general excellence of everything—as an em- phatic promise for the Simpson Crawford Bargain Basement for the future—not only on Friday, but every business day in the week.
