Mr. P. J. McManus,
O’Neill, Neb.
Dear Sir:
Y ou don’t need to be told that this is a very unusual season in the
clothing business. The European war has caused great disturbances in the
woolen market, the dye-stuffs market, etc. Prices have been unsettled; some
weavers, manufacturers of clothing, sellers of textiles have considered it wise
to send out a notice of warning to the effect that dyes are uncertain and cannot
.. be guaranteed; that all-wool fabrics may be difficult to obtain; and other
similar things.
A good many of our customers have written to ask what we’er going
to do about it. We want them and everybody else to know that they need
have no uncertainty about Hart Schaffner & Marx on any of those matters.
Our fabrics will continue to be, as in the past, absolutely all-wool •
our colors will be, as in the past, absolutely fast and reliable. We shall con
tinue to sell our merchandise, as in the past, at prices that are to the advantage
of the retail merchant; we shall have our usual large supply of goods to meet
Y) y°ur requirements as promptly and as fully as ever. We shall continue our
ii Policy of creating a large general asset of prestige and trade-drawing force,
^ by good advertising.
j/ There is absolutely no need to be worried about the market condi
7 tions, or anxious over what we are going to do for our customers. We’re go
ing to do what we always have done—make the best clothes possible, sell them
at the lowest prices possible, deliver them as promptly as possible; and put be- I
hind every article we produce a positive and unqualified guarantee of the
complete satisfaction to the wearer.
Conditions of the market may change, war may come or go; but the
► policy of this house will not change; and you may rest absolutely in that
^ assurance.
a Yours truly,
HART SCHAFFNER & MARX

open bed room and a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first get
up. Even then you will occasionally
take a cold, especially when colds are ;
epidemic, and when you do you will "
find Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a
great help in enabling you to get rid
of it. Try it. Obtainable everywhere.
