I TNUSUAL conditions have prevailed for almost three
years in the men's clothing business.
In announcing our new suit and top coat selections for this
spring season, we emphasize their pedigrees.
Our advice to you at this time is to buy clothing of reputa
tion, clothing in which you know the manufacturer lives up
to his responsibility until you admit you have had your
money's worth.
We carry the same famous makes as usual. Our lines have
national prestige, based on style and quality standards. They
are guaranteed by the makers and by us.
We want to emphasize that we are headquarters for
Sfyiepfas y y
CSfiiis...fiL
'The same, price the nation over."
The only clothes in America" whose price is known to
remain the same.
The popularity of this suit of medium cost, one price the
nation over, has given ihe makers such a great volume
that they can keep the 'price down and give all wool fabrics
plus the style of one of thecgreat designers. Guaranteed!
We bought heavily this season. Our assortment is large, but we think you
will see in it a clothing conception that shows our knowledge of what the
best dressers in town want.
Buy your spring suit early. We cannot reorder on some of the most stylish
fabrics. Be free to come here and look through our new stocks. We want
you to know how well we are supplied.
