PER CENT CHEAPER THAN WE CAN BUY THEM TODAY, and we intend letting our customers have the bene-
fit of it. That is why we say BUY NOW. You will save from 25 to 50 PER CENT on your purchases if you BUY
NOW.

Below Are a Few Extracts From the Daily News Record Published in New York -03,11 Llm8,jBl!f28
MARKETS ADVANCE
STEADILY
"The wool and cotton markets
continue to advance week by
week, with no sign of any let-up,
but the correspondingly increas-
ed prices for merchandise do not
•eem In any way to deter sub-
stantial buying. On the con-
trary, as Is customary on a ris-
ing market, buying is extremely
brisk, and we continue to pre-
dict a -positive scramble In the
early fall for any kind of salable
merchandise.
"Of course, those who predict-
ed a serious depression at the
close of the war have long since
crawled 'back Into their shells,
while those who Insisted on con-
tinued prosperity, and had the
Courage of their convictions, are
congratulating themselves now
on their optimism and are reap-
ing their proper reward."
FURNISHINGS
"Ik'ggar'n Market Not Seller's
Market," Says Buyer.
New York.—A buyer who has
spent the last few days hunting
the men's furnishings trade for
merchandise characterizes the
market as a "beggar's market,
not a seller's market."
This man, who was commis-
sioned by several retailers who
have just started in business to
stock their stores for them, is
still trying to locate enough
merchandise to carry out his
commission. He says It is only
by personal acquaintance with
the heads of the various whole-
sale houses that he has been able
to obtain any neckwear, collars,
hosiery, shirts, hats, etc., and
that even so the quantities he
has been able to secure are less
than quarter of what he needs.
FALL KNIT GOODS RETAIL
PRICES TO REACH RECORD
High Prices to Continue a* Long
a« Wages Are High, Says
Market Review of Knit
Good** Association.
Philadelphia.—Fall prices for
knit goods will probably bo the
highest on record, according to
this week's market review, is-
sued by the National Association
of Hosiery and Underwear Man-
ufacturers, which says in part:
"There is nothing backward in
the knit goods market but deliv-
eries. In every other respect the
market is forward, with special
emphasis on the word when ap-
plied to prices, which have got-
ten to a level to cause alarm
among some manufacturing rep-
resentatives. How long will
present demand continue? Is a
question one hears repeatedly.
"It will at least continue long
enough to put prices on next
year's retail transactions higher
than they ever have been. The
25 cent undershirt or drawers of
a few years ago will go to the
wearer at 75 cents. The dollar
silk stocking of 1915 and even
later will fetch $3.50. That's
the outlook, and on the surface
there is nothing to stem the price
rise on knit goods that will go
over the counter In the winter of
1920-1921.

FOUND ONLY EIGHT
BLUE SUITS IN THE
CHICAGO MARKET
Chicago.-^-The recent experi-
ence oi a State street buyer In
trying to freshen up his depleted
lightweight stocks gives an Indi-
cation of how completely the Chi-
cago market Is sold up. This
buyer was anxious to secure sev-
eral hundred blue suits in serges
or flannels. He called on every
manufacturer of any size In the
market and as a result of his
buying trip, he was able to se-
cure exactly eight suits.

erick B. Macy Sk Co., local brok-

quotations on them at present,
although some small orders are
being put through at advanced
prices."
