We Have
Prepared for
the Old-Time
To enter the Fall season, 1918, with the knowledge that this store is orepared to furnish its customers merchandise of the high-
est standard at prices every one will be glad to pay. It is gratifying to us to know that we own our goods for less money than
we can go into the wholesale markets and buy ihem today, for our orders were placed, in many instances, as early as last De-
cember, thus saving the heaviest advance ever made by the mills and manufacturers since the Civil War; and to this end we enter
into ard announce, with the greatest enthusiasm, "pep," push and vim, our
Buy It In October Campaign
We have inaugurated our annual October selling campaign, and we have prepared tx ensively for the return of an old-turn Fall
business. With the largest stocks we have ever shown---with additional salespeople to wait on you—-with our every constant
aim to serve you well---and with confidence in our judgment to determine just where you buy your Fall and Winter supplies,
we awcit with pleasure your coming to us. Positively never was there a more opportune time than right now to make your Fall
purchases of COATS, SUITS, DRESSES. SKIRTS, HATS, SHOES AND UNDERWEAR. In fact everything.
Never were the BERRY-MOSES CO'S stocks more complete. Never were the varieties so great. Not for many a day to
come will we be in such a position to save you money on most any purchase you make, and now, right now, during this great
Annual Buy It In October Campaign
It is the time for you to grasp this opportunity and realize the benefit of a dollar's greatest buying power. Remember, our or-
ders for most of the merchandise we are offering now were placed with the manufacturers long before the steady and increasing
advance in all wool and cotton materials. Bought on that basis, we are not going to advance the price, but sell them on- the
same basis that we bought them. That's why you'll find so many wonderful buying opportunities in this great store today.
Come Here to Do Vour Fall Trading
And we urge you to come early for, bear in mind, prices are only good until present stocks are exhausted.
