Th »/ SUNDAY WORLD WANTS “1 WORK MONDAY WONDERS, = Greatest Sale> Canned Vegetables} The sale opened last Thursday morning. We were prepared for a quick and: generous response at every every store, with supplies which we considered more than ample, The response tar exceeded our calculations and expectations. Some of the 200 branches were quickly cleaned out of one gr more lines. Betore Saturday night there was hardly a Butler Store with complete lines—so generous was the buying onslaught. Housekeepers, hotels, restaurants, boarding houses—all bought so freely that many—ineluding our regular patrons—were unavoidably disappointed in getting immediate delivery, This week we will catch up with every order, Kor these reasons we continue this greatest of all Canned Vegetable Sales for three more da Stocks are replenished at all the 200 ‘James Butler’? Stores, and until next Wednesday evening you may order as you please—by the can, dozen or case—but only on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week at these prices. We repeat positively that this sale is for housekeepers and consumers only; grocers or other dealers will not be supplied.
