Good News for Our Customers! On Every Article in this Catalogue We Have Cut Our Prices and Reduced Our Profits to the Smallest Possible Margin and This is Why. Our Prices Have Always Been Fair and Reasonable. We have NEVER demanded excessive profits, but have invariably been content to sell merchandise at a very narrow margin. Low prices and good values mean increased sales, and on this principle, we have built our enormous business. We are proud of the fact that, by our policy of fair prices, we have gained the confidence, the goodwill and the friendship of our three million customers. NOW; We intend to go further! We are in Full Accord with the Movement to Fight High Prices. It cannot be done by beating of drums, nor blowing of trumpets, nor by insincere and false pretensions that goods are being sold for "less than cost." Your common sense tells you that no concern could stay in business and continue to sell merchandise for less than it costs to produce. The way to reduce prices is for someone to start the downward trend, and TAKE LESS PROFIT OR NO PROFIT until conditions are adjusted. And that is what WE have done. READ THIS CAREFULLY. We Have Reduced the Price of Every Article in This Catalogue. And we guarantee that every article is offered at as low or a lower price than the same goods can be bought for anywhere in the United States. We stand back of this statement. We will make good the difference at any time if it can be proven that the same merchandise is offered elsewhere for less money. And More Than This: If market conditions during the season justify further reductions, we will again lower our prices. Which means: That if you send us an order for anything in this Catalogue, and we have been able meanwhile to reduce the price, we will fill your order at the lower price and refund the difference! Everything in Our Catalogue is Good Quality and Good Value. We refuse to cut down our standards of quality. We have never offered our customers shoddy materials nor inferior merchandise and we never will. We are in this fight for reasonable prices TO STAY. That is why we have reduced the price on every article in this Catalogue, and that is why this Book offers you better values in high grade merchandise than you can find ANYWHERE!
