> Thanksgiving Day is coming*
Hart Schaflfner & Marx clothes
have been here some time
There is a direct relation between the two ideas
stated in our heading; because such clothes as these are a good cause
for Thanksgiving.
*
In these troubled days, when the cost of everything we eat or wear
or use is advancing, you must not forget that the temptation is very
great on manufacturers to keep the prices of their products down by
letting down a little on quality. That’s just what’s going on in the
making of clothes as well as of other things.
And that’s why you can be thankful for Hart SchafFner & Marx
clothes; the quality of all-wool fabrics, the line tailoring, the smart
m style are all the more important; and these makers haven’t lowered their
standards in the smallest degree.
^ When you come here for these clothes, you’ll get the best in
the world.
