Coat Values
See what we offer around $40 to $50
The real basis of all value, In times of plenty or
scarcity, is is tlie material good? is the work
manship right? is tho style unexceptionable? Is
it what you wish? 1
But, when, as today with good fabrics scarce and
all materials high, you have a chance to buy on
tlie basis of previous season's costs then you get
Value Plus
and that is what a large proportion of our stock
offers.
It's a question of buying power and business
foresight early exercised to a wonderful extent
by makers who for years have helped us make
ours the leading coat and suit store in North
Platte and for miles around,
Wo know you appreciate such extra values
and wo havo been keen In securing Uioin.
So we repeat: See what we offer around $10 to
$50 you'll save enough on them to buy many
