suits and overcoats is too big, and we are-putting
this section, like others of our store, on a war-fitting
basis and willingly accept the sacrifice that we may
accomplish this end. ,

TO be frank, it is almost a crime to offer such splen
did, high grade shirts as these are, at such a
great sacrifice, and right in the constantly advancing
market, too. But one reason for it is to give you the
benefit of a close margin and "keep business going
as usual." ,
We could have marked them at the price they
were intended to sell and made a big profit, but
that's not our way, so out they go.
They're made of the most desirable materials for
spring and summer, 1918 materials that always go
into high grade shirts, such as madras, percales, pon
gee fabrics, mercerized cloths, silk fiber, etc. ; all
