It is to be noted that even the original Macy prices were in most cases lower than present “‘sale prices” of many stores—a fact observed by most New Yorkers who attended other sales, and due entirely to Macy’s methods of buying and selling only for CASH. These reductions therefore mean economies impossible at any time to stores doing business on a “credit basis,” which covers the stores that offer the dearly-bought “privilege” of a Charge Account. Since most of the pieces offered are only one of a kind, and as it is impossible to predict when present conditions will be duplicated, home-furnishers are strongly urged to consider more than the needs of the present in making their selections. To be on the safe side, “first and second choice” should be checked off on this list in advance of coming in, but those who plan to make selections within the next day or two will be pretty sure to get what they want—and at prices that may not be equaled for years and years to come!
