FIGG LEAVES NO
HOPE OF CHEAPER
TOGS FOR MEN
(From the Chicago Tribune)
Washington, D. C. (Special)
That no reduction in the prices of
clothing may be expected, and that
they may go higher in 1921, was as
serted by Ludwig Stein of Chicago,
president of the National Association
of Clothiers, following the confer
ence of manufacturers, wholesalers,
and retailers of men's clothing at the
department of justice..
Mr. Stein's statement Indicated
that the department of justice's cru
sade against the high cost of cloth
ing had come to nothing.
Assistant Attorney General II. E.
Flgg, with whom the clothing men
conferred, issued a statement which
Urged increased production co-operative
efforts toward eliminating
waste before material reductions in
price could be anticipated.
Incorporated in Mr. Flgg's state
ment were resolutions adopted by
the clothing men pledging them
selves to co-operate in the prosecu
tion of profiteers in the clothing
business, but expressing the belief
that there are none. The department
of justice was asked to make a full
investigation, and if it finds that
clothing wholesalers and retailers
are not profiteering to Issue a state
ment stating that fact to the public.

What's the thing to
do about clothes?
YOTJ know clothes are high priced.
Some men don't care about that if they
can get their money's worth. But most
men want to save; they want to reduce
the "high cost" if they can.
Good all-wool clothes do both. They
give you your money's worthy in style and
service. -
t
They "reduce the cost" because they
wear longer; you can get along with
fewer clothes.
Our clothes are all-wool; stylish. They fre
guaranteed io satisfy you money back if
they don 9t.

Your clothes will cost less by the year if
you buy Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes
at this store.
