THE BIG WHY
1 '
I opened this store November 18th with a complete line of dependable goods frosljfiriVhi the
best makers. Since .that dat,e I have not not had a dull day, and muchto my satisiuct ion. business
is growing daily. Lots of people know of Weingand, the Quality .Placebut I want lots more to
know of rae not only to know but to come and learn that under any condition
they can buy a Suit or Overcoat for $15 or $20 that the other fellows sell for
$20 and ,$25. But I am not satisfied with saving you that $5 I will do more
I will give you a discount of twenty -five per cent off on ray entire line of
Men's Suits and Overcoats.
This means 25 per cent less than my usual prices, which are always lower than the other fellows
My stock is absolutely fresh- I have no junk to unload on you. This means something, does'nt it, some
thing that's worth considering. Here's your chance to get the pick of a carefully selected stock of new
goods not left overs from a half dozen seasons.
Remember 25 per cent discount on Men's Suits and Overcoats, Cash or Credit. Sale begins Dec.9th.
