Macy’s—a product of our time and a creator of it. The concrete expres- ston of the retail life of the community—of composite business activity. “A broad assertion,” you say, “and it doesn’t count for much, because it is made over the Macy firm-name.” You are wrong—entirely wrong. The store, in its present scope and magnitude, could not arrive until the time was ripe for it. That the time is rare-ripe for the enterprise is definitely proven by your appreciation, shown in the one unmistakable, decisive way— popular pa- tronage. “A creator of the time ”—surely itis all that. The science of store-keeping has received its highest inspiration and most progressive impulse within the Mac’ organization, which for solid cohesiveness and unyielding loyalty to certain idea has never been surpassed. Merchants between the “two Portlands” regard Macy’s as a sort of Busl- ness University. In some future day when the historian of American Retailing undertakes to trace the gradual rise and dominancy of the modem department store, he will discover that more innovations and helpful ideas originated with Macy’s than with allaits competitors combined. That's being a creator of the time, isn’t it? We have broken more precedents and established more precedents than all the rest. Universal usage sanctions proper principles, as a rule. But there are excep- tions. For example: Macy’s is the only large store in the great city of New York that sells exclusively for cash and gives no discounts, commissions or rebates, That this policy is wise and economical ts piracy admitted by others, but, for obviaus reasons, they do not adopt it~and therefore cannot match otrr prices. But we are about to crowd out the particular purpose we had in mind to justify an announcement in the Saturday afternoon papers. It is to prepare you for our advertisement in the Sunday papers. Three extraordinary Special Sales will be featured: (1) A Sale of Furs. (2) A Sale of Linens, (3) A Sale of Housefurnishings, They involve values that are really wonderful. For instance: On Fri- day we bought $110,000.00 worth of Furs at half price. To them we have added our own unsold balances—and will sell all at and less than fifty cents on the dollar. The collection is very strong in the finer, qualitie——notably Mink and Seal, One transaction consummated by us more than doubles the purchasing power of your Fur money. That's leadership. The Sale of Linens is an achlevement that will mark its impress on the local market. Its interests are broad as the flax-producing countries of the world. Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Belgium, Russia, the Madeira Islands—Linens in fair, crisp, shimmering phalanxes—sheaves of glistening white flaxen stuffs are here at prices that should gtve Impetus to a buying cru- sade heretofore unknown, There is a bookful of items, To-morrow’s adver- tisement will contain a few chapters. The Housefurnishing Goods Sale.—Something new added to our January schedule of important events—something you will like. The completest, the safest, the most progressive Housefurnishing Goods Department in the whole world is here. Glance along the bro:d, roomy aisles, flanked with the sort of values that have made Macy’s fami us. Our special sales are wholly unlike others. We strive for low prices, of course, but we exact perfect qualities. On that point our efforts never relax, Others may absorb the factories’ leavings, and cripples and scratched, blistered, rickety residuums, and be welcome to make their noises about and their profits on them. We stick to our original policy of selling only ‘firsts’—perfect quali- ties, The history of this branch of our business stamps “O. K.” on our method, A representative list of practical, helpful, domestic items will be appended, showing the savings you may enjoy between our regular prices and our “special’ prices that are current during this sale. Housewives, thrifty, forethoughtful, faithful housewives, arouse yourselves and take advantage of this opportunity ! The Sales of Last Week.—They lap over and will be as prominent in the “composite business activity” of this week as they were last week. The White Sale is ready for its fourth-week record. Cluett, Peabody & Co.’s $1.50 to $2.50 Shirts at $1.04 have been reinforced. Dress Goods, Silks, Laces, Embroideries—all, all the successful values are still alive—and ready.
