The best retailers all over the
United States have set aside
this week to make a complete
demonstration of Marx Made
Trousers. They are garments
of a national reputation with
individual character in every
pair that's why we think
them worthy of this special
consideration. Marx Made
Trousers embody so many
new and practical ideas in
trouser construction that it's
worth your while to do some
investigating on your own
hook.
For example Take the
"Wunder Waist Band,:' an
exclusive feature to be found
only on Marx Made Trousers.
The "Wunder Waist Band"
insures perfect fit at the hip
it keeps your trousers from
saSg'n8; at the waist it makes
them hang,-perfectly, because
it is a belt-holding device,
made of one thickness of cloth
on scientific principles.
Marx Made Trousers are su
perior, because they arc perfect and more desirable
more are sold than any other make, that's why the
manufacturers of Marx Made Trousers command first
choice of trouser materials on the market.
Remember the Date June 21st to June 28th.
It's hot, to be sure, but you cciii't go without
trousers, even if you do shed your coat and vest.
More than a million men wear MARX MADE . .

That's a good point to consider.
Many a time you would shift a line of
fencing from, say, the bull pasture to the
hog lot ifit didn't destroy the efficiency
of the fence.
In "Pittsburgh Perfect", the only fence
with electrically welded joints, tho stays
are permanently joined to the line wires.
It is actually a one-piece fence.
Taking down 'Pittsburgh Perfect" and
re-stringing it doesn't hurt it a bit. This
