This announcement comes just at a time when we had completed 1 our preparations for a big season. Our very large stock, carefully selected, must be sold out in an extremely limited time. A Real Tragedy of the Business World Only a tomparatively short while ago we settled. down to build up what we fondly hoped would be one of the best known Women's Retail Ap- parel establishments on Fifth Avenue. - Every garment we had to offer for sale was new. Every garment was produced at bot- tom prices, consistent with high quality and workman- ship. We went joyously and carefree about the business of building up a name and a clientele. Then came the knowledge that our lease was expiring very shortly and that the landlord insisted on a greatly increased rental which would make it impossible for us to market our ndise at the low prices to which we had been accustomed. The impossibility of then selling our apparel for less than other stores were asking, ing largely to increased pie J decided us to close down our business. This is a real sacrifice sale. We have accumulated such an unusually large stock that it is necessary to take heroic measures to dispose of it in time.
