sending away for goods to catalogue
houses, as we are positively pre
pared to give you as good prices as
you can get in any of the large
cities. You have only to investigate
to convince yourself of the truth of
this statement.
Our $7.75 cassimere suits, $7.75
all wool kersey overcoats and our
$10 Zero collar Frese ulster are
three of the best bargains you ever
saw. We have all wool suits as low
as $5.75 and as high as $15, and an
excellent line of overcoats and
ulsters.
Our stock of underwear, unusual
ly large, is full of good bargains.,
Our lines of men’s wear at 50c,
