I was in a house last week where
they had three nickel alarm clocks.
One had lost its bell, the other its
legs, the third was so clogged with
dust it couldn't tell the truth.
There should be one more alarm
clock in that house and that's an
IRONCLAD.-It's knockproof, it's
duotproof, it rings to beat the band.

Spring Coats and Suits
T
"Wc are now sliowing a full line of spring suits and coats and
"are in a better position to serve you than ever before. In ad-
- dition to the strong lines wc have always carried we have added
the Wooltex garments to our stock, giving you the choice of
the two best made and best stylo lines produced in this country.
'Wc feel that that we can satisfy your every want in this line if
given the opportunity. Styles were never so pretty as this
spring. Clothes are simply superb and the colors, while brighter
than usual, have only to be seen to be admired. Buy your
spring garments early and get the benefit of that much extra
wear out of them. ' In this period of changing styles it pays to
buy early as the styles we are showing are what will be worn
until fall.
