A local retailer announces a Saturday sale with $10 Mackinaws at 5 percent of gross receipts donated to the Red Cross. The store will overhaul stock, offer deep dress goods discounts, and use volunteer ladies as salespeople to boost a substantial charity result.
An advertisement touts the largest stock of groceries in Northern Wyoming and offers quick selling discounts rather than wholesale profits. Items listed include Searchlight Matches 49 cents per box, Heinz Sour Kraut 50 cents per can, Calumet Baking Powder 13 cents per can, Baby Milk, Canned Tomatoes 11 cents, All White Laundry Soap, Campbell’s Soups 9 cents, Mount Cross Apples gallon 37 cents, Canned Corn 11 cents per can, Wyoming Cleaner, Eagle Choice Brand Coffee 19 cents per pound, Morado Coffee 9 cents per pound, and a gallon of Ketchup at reduced price.
In a store display the ad promotes deep discounts across men women and children footwear. Men’s dress shoes priced at five dollars and work shoes four dollars compete with three to six dollar specials and favorably low prices on Florsheim and Harlow styles. Children and women’s shoes range from about two to ten dollars as the ad argues buying multiple pairs benefits the whole family.
