Advertisement Nabbed From AB and B Store Stock Daze
An old advertisement discusses pre Christmas stock taking and inventory issues at AB and B. It notes reduced stock versus last year, same expenses, and plans to sell in January and February to cover costs, with emphasis on clearing broken lots and odd dozens to avoid carrying expenses into February. It mentions a hypothetical Artesian move by a previously successful stocker and party, but focuses on the shop’s financial stance and sell-off strategy.
