It is the result | | of a month of careful planning. Its exceptional opportunities were brought about by weeks of watchful waiting-—~a readiness to take , immediate advantage with cash of every opportunity the wholesale market offered. Fabrics Bought and Made Up to Order | In one instance an importer’s entire surplus collection of coatings was secured at a substantial discount from current market rates. We called u one of our most reliable manufacturers. We designated our own styla—the very ones we have tried out in our regular stocks this season. ‘These styles have proven the Medium Pri French Hate They were such hone thet whe rene 4 original Parke models.

GIMBELS — Floor 500 Women’s Broadcloth Suits Spirit of Commerce “Progress” §0ON after the GIMBEL New York Store opened a little more than 5 years ago a writer, in commenting on this business, said: “THE GREATEST FORWARD STEP IN AMERI- Copied from Costly Models At $29.50 Now Beltless Suits, button trimmed fob pockets, semi-fitted Coat, with full flare springing from beltless waist line are the newest features. They have high military collar, band on sleeves and bottom of Coat are of Hudson seal (dyed muskrat). In seal brown, black, green and navy blue. Braid and Fur-trimmed Suits at $29.50 Practically the same style Coat, with braided beit effect; belt and fashionable and practical. How Much We Are Saving Our Patrons by this one of many unusual transactions was brought to our eyes very forcibly only a few days ago. A certain large manufacturer of coats for women and young women offered us his entire surplus stock. We found these coats, already made up, were of thé same grade of materials as those in the coats we have secured for this sale. Many of the styles were duplicates of our own. But the price at which he was willing to sell them at wholesale (it represented a sacrifice of his normal profits) is the same as we are going to sell our specially-made coats tomorrow at retail. CAN RETAILING HAS JUST BEEN MADE BY THE NEW AND WONDERFUL GIMBEL STORE, OPENED THIS MONTH IN NEW YORK CITY “This new store is som: more than a mere 4 commercial structure stocked with merchandise : for sale, It is a store with a soul in it—s store of ideals—and strangely enough a store of ideals car- rie¢ almost to realization It typifies tho hopes and dreams of men who have been planning the ideal | N store for more than a generation and at last believe N they have it In an age of specialization it has carried N specializing in retailing to its logical limit.

It is not an idea that is modern in the GIMF-ZL sense, for it has been the GIMBEL policy for 68 years."
