£ WN An Exciting Extravaganza of Savings! I bn LF Lf

If there's one thing we pride ourselves on more than another, it's our reputation for variety. But alas, so often pride goeth before a falll Sometimes in our enthusiasm we buy too extravagantly. Often we buy too many of one size and not enough of another, and so on. Every now and then we find ourselves out on a limb. Block's famous varieties have become Block's Follies. We still hang on to the stubborn conviction that these things are good values. But tomorrow our weakness for variety is going to save plenty of money for lots of people.
