1,000 CORSETS of standard makes $2.00, $2.50, $3.00 and $3.50 qualities, sale price Corsets at 98c—sounds almost unbelievable in the face of today’s high prices. Women will scarcely believe their eyes when they read this an-

nouncement.

We are in a position to know that not only will prices of corsets continue to soar, but that there is no limit to which they may go in the future. Yet, in spite of the acuteness of the situation, we are holding this sale of corsets at a price which is in striking contrast with today’s high and soaring costs, being guided more by service to our customers than personal consideration of

profit.

We have gone into our stocks and taken out all our broken lots—slightly wiled, corsets, etc.—1,000 in all for this sale. We expect them to sell with speed.
