Over each table I had a big card, of which the following is a sample:—
EVERYTHING ON THIS COUNTER IS A REGULAR 50¢ ARTICLE
Look them over—Buy while you can!
| REGULAR PRICE | 50¢ | Regular price |
| Thursday, Aug. 26 | 45¢ | A nickel saved |
| Friday, Aug. 27 | 40¢ | A dime in your pocket |
| Saturday, Aug. 28 | 35¢ | Saves the price of three sodas |
| Monday, Aug. 30 | 30¢ | Saves four trolley fares |
| Tuesday, Aug. 31 | 25¢ | Half price—any left? |
| Wednesday, Sept. 1 | 20¢ | Makes your saving look like 30¢ |
| Thursday, Sept. 2 | 15¢ | And 35¢ to the good—IF |
| Friday, Sept. 3 | 10¢ | Saves 40¢ |
| Saturday, Sept. 4 | 5¢ | Ten for the price of one—but you missed your chance |
| Tuesday, Sept. 7 | FREE | Help yourself to what is left |
Jock had said: "Mon, they'll all wait till the last day and then come and steal the goods awa' frae ye!"
"No," Betty had replied, "many will buy, before the goods are reduced much, for fear somebody else will buy them first."
Larsen suggested having a big sign in the window headed:
"WATCH THIS LIST. ARTICLES SOLD OUT WILL BE POSTED ON IT."
"You see, Boss," he had said, "the folks'll see a number of things put on the list. They'll figure they'd better not wait else what they want will be sold."
Fellows chimed in with, "Tell you what to do, Black. Put in just two or three of some articles, so that by the end of the first day you'll be able to post up some goods that are sold out."
