NOTICE.
TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
Owing to unforeseen circumstances, we regret we are not al- lowed to proceed with our "Free Purchase" scheme. However, in- stead of giving away to our customers one day's akings out of the fourteen days during the present bargain period, we have decided to give our customers at the close of the Sale on production of our Cash Sale, Memos, an additional discount of 10 per cent. of the total amount of their purchase made during the whole bargain' "period, irrespective of date, with Credit Memos which are exchange.
able for goods lo
to the
value, specified
tho
in
dilt should be understood that the sacrifice to be made by un
offer of 10 per cent. additional discount generally, is much greater than that of one day's free purchase, and that by the change of the scheme, the benefit will be extended to every cas. tomer who made their purchases during the Sale. This is in con aistence with the "Slopere's Sensational Offer!!
Plensu note; our "Sale" closca on September 3; so we urge you to make selections of our bargains at an early dats to avoid the last minute's rush.
