"Good on promises but poor on carrying them out" you say of one, "Full of tricks worth watching" is the com ment about another, "Con servative but pretty high priced" is the estimate of a third. "A fair store and a careful one" that's what we want you to say about us in years to come. Fairness in its broadest sense may be expected here. Fairness which makes your satisfaction assured on every purchase. Fair ness which stands for low prices on worthy goods. We're careful to see that promises are carried out to the letter. Careful to see that only dependable goods enter our stock. We stand for fairness and carefulness, by the practice of such principles we expect, to win the confidence of Cass county people. Our spring; stock is full and fresh. Come in and buy as little or as much as you like, or just look. We'll be glad to welcome you. THE HOME OF Hart Schalfner & Marx Clothes Manhattan Shirts.
