Reliable as to the Clothing we sell, means thoroughly
satisfying style, as well as thoroughly, good fabric and tailor
ing. The three are interdependent. Good cloth fails to make
good clothes if not skillfully and carefully handled from begin
ning to end Our Clothing must be correctly cut and tailored
so as to insure lasting shapeliness. The steady growth of
this store proves the satisfactory quality of the Clothing.
Best for the money is our rule, from the sturdy Business Suit
or Overcoat to the finest that can be made.
PRACTICAL
That is the word that most thoroughly characterizes this
store. The v Armstrong store is a practical store, free of all
pretense or sham, employing no methods that smack of the "make belief." The
public is its friend, sharing its confidence, and profiting by its unusual facilities for
disposing of quantities of merchandise. ( -.
Style and Fit
' Whose Clothes are best?" ; Where can I get most satisfaction? When can
I do the best with the money I have to spend?"
These are the questions of high importance when considering a Winter
Suit or Overcoat. ' . . -
In planning for this winter we made up our minds that not a man who came
to us with a fixed idea about a Suit or Overcoat that he wanted, would fail to find
in size, style or fabric, exactly what he had a "hankering" for. ' , 1
This meant immense variety we have it. 1 1
It meant endless styles of fabrics we have them.
