That thera in a poeetblllty of a grain
carrying car shortage It rkilculona, aa
"rt th Omaha railroad freight men. Ac
cording to their version there la more
need of gTaln to hanl than there U of
cars. Thl la due, they assert, to the
fact that farmera everywhere except In
tha extreme northwest are holding their
wheat for higher prices. In proof of thin
they point to the wheat recelpte now
! on the corresponding data of a year
ago. These are In car Iota:

Tha northern market were provided
with cart long before the ruah of grain
started from that section, ao that the

upon for equipment. Instead, the Omaha
roada hava thouaanda of car that they
could load out If tha farmera would let
go of their wheat
Right at thla time tha Northweatem

Last week, railroad men assert, when

let go of a part of their grain, but when
it sagged a few oenta early thla week,
they stopped selling and rfow the receipt

Dear Sir
and Madam:
September 10, 1914
THE men of this city are representative
Americans. They like to live well, to
dress well, to have what others have
the best they can afford.
They like to afford the best, and if it seems
out of reach they, look further, and they
usually get it.
We all know that conditions are chang
ing in this countrymethods of work stand
ards of value the general way of looking
at things.
Business is learning to cut out waste.
More than that, it is learning that whatever is
saved must be taken off the priced or put into
the quality of the product.
More is expected of everybody.
Men think of what they are doingwhat
they are buying. They look at both sides of
their dollar.
This means the forging ahead of some
concerns, and the falling behind of others.
New and very important things are being
done in the men's clothing business.
As never before the spot-light is on the
value-giveri
It is astonishing what new methods can
deliver to you in style, in tailoring, in rich
and durable fabrics at the same prices you
have been paying.
And yet there are men and there are deal
ers, plenty of them, who lag along with the
old standards because they do not realize what
h taking place in the clothing trade.
Men dislike change. Habit is one of the
duUest things in the world. The average man
has a habit of buying from a certain dealer,
and the dealer has a habit of buying from cer
tain manufacturers.
There is nothing so arrogant or self
satisfied as habit that has gone to sleep over
an established success.
We were the first clothing concern in
America to go on record with the conviction
that more could be done than anybody was
doing toward a betterment of values through
.efficiency methods in the clothing business.
To prove our conviction we built in
Chicago the most advanced tailor-shops in the
world. Acres of sun-lit floor space aU glass,
white tile and electric power the last word
in scientific equipment. And here we put in
force our ideas of efficiency in men and
methods with results that will stir the dry
bones of, the clothing trade.
We effect great saving and great better
ment which goes to you.
With new system and accuracy, we
achieve certain niceties in fit and tailoring
that you have not known before.
We believe we are the only clothing bouse
in the world that employs a woman chief
inspector over hand-work Mary Clara Leiter,
member of the Housewives' League of America.
Men tailors are the best, but a woman's
quick eye will catch a fault instantly, in the
felling of a seam or the finish of a button-hole.
We want your wife or woman-folk to see
your Kuppenheimer suit or overcoat exam
ine the seams, the fit and the work.
We know the" results are there as never
before in your clothing experience and she
will be the first to teU you so.
These are interesting facts, and you won
der what effect they are having on our business.
The success, of our dealers everywhere
makes this the fastest-growing clothing house
in America. The discriminating clothing
wearers of this country bought from these
dealers over Eleven Million Dollars of Kup
penheimer garments last year at $18 to $40 the
suit or overcoat.
Kuppenheimer Clothes are going into the
finest stores of this country in increasing
volume. ,
One of the greatest merchants in America
said the other day to an acquaintance of ours,
"Kuppenheimer merchandise is better than
they themselves realize."
He thought we did not know the merit of
our goods because we did not seek to register
our appreciation in the price. ,
This very condition shows why we are so
particular in, the selection of dealers who will
represent Kuppenheimer Clothes in the spirit
in which they are made.
Square-toed, straightforward, new-method
clothing merchants who will give their cus
tomers aU the advantage that we give them. '
For instance, we are very strong indeed in
suits and overcoats around $25, and we want a
dealer who can face the $40 look in a $25 gar
ment and put the temptation behind him.
. It will pay him, and pay him big, in the
long run if he is far-sighted enough to trust
the public's appreciation Of values.
Kuppenheimer dealers are that kind of
men.
We want you to know us better and we
want to know you. We are going to talk to
you right along in this newspaper.
We will be glad to send without charge
our Book of Fashions to any man who cares for
his personal appearance, or to any woman who
cares for the personal appearance of any man.
