MEN'S FALL CLOTHING
f Right in Style and Full of Service 1
Want Style"
And you are right. It is style in clothes that shows the difference" between the
prince and the peasant. Smart spick and span stylish clothes are a business asset.
We have all the styles of the best designers of the country. All the striking
new features are here as well as the more conservative cuts, every one in exactly the
right fashionable hues. But best of all, this style and shapeliness is tailored into each
garment-it will have that stylish appearance until it is worn out.
Want Service''
You are wise. Your clothes money is wasted if you don't get good long service
out of the clothes you buy. That means all wool fabrics and good tailoring. That
is what you get here. From the lowest to the highest priced garment the fabric is all
wool or silk and wool if we tell you so. Then the Armstrong tailoring means long
wear, for it is thoroughly well done. Where a hot iron shapes most clothing long
enough to sell them, our clothing is permanently needle moulded into shape.
Well Tailored Trousers $2.98 and $3.93
We know that no other clothing store in this state shows such a stock of Trousers
as we do. See these at $2.98 and $3.98 and you will understand why we sell the
most pants.

WHERE THE HIDES GO
Shoe Men Use Them Up in a Way
That is Appalling
Mayer Factory of Milwaukee Uses 416,
389 Annually
Steers, Cows, Calves, Goats, Horses,
Sheep and Kangaroos Contribute
to One of the Greatest Indus
tries on Earth
In the mad whirl of business, people
rarely pause long enough to consider
the little things of life and how close
ly they are identified with the greater
ones how inseparable, in fact they
are, from and how essential to them.
Take for instance the shoe business
did ever anyone ponder Jong enough
to realize the wealth of actual energy
and animal life expended in the pro
duction of footwear for the human
race.
As an example, take the Mayer Boot
& Shoe Company, a Milwaukee con
cern that in its three hundred working
days has consumed no less than 416,
3S9 hides of all kinds during the past
twelve months.
Here then we have the hides of 60,
298 steers, 31,163 cows, 55,704 calves,
196.84S goats, 67,599 sheep, 2,523
horses, and 1,479 kangaroos, all con
sumed and distributed by the great
Mayer factory within the period of a
year. Stand these animals In a straight
line- and they would cover a distance
of 351 miles, nearly one sixtieth of the
earth's circumference. To bring this
livestock to its final point of destina
tion, required no less than 3,000, 26
foot cars, which strung together would
cover over 15 miles of railroad track.
It takes the hides of nearly 1,500 ani
mals daily to supply the demands of
this monster shoe enterprise and were
all of them spread out at one time, it
would require an area of over 5,000,000
square feet to accomodate them.
Nearly 1,000 skilled artisans are em
ployed by the Mayer Company the year
round making the Honorbilt shoe for
men, Western Lady for women, and
the celebrated Martha Washington
comfort shoes; also school shoes that
wear like iron and work shoes for all
classes and purposes. The total ca
pacity of the Mayer factory is 6,000
pairs of shoes a day. The equipment
of this factory is as thoroughly mod
ern and up to date as money and ex
perience can make it. Another de
cidedly favorable feature is that of lo
cation, which is rn the greatest leather
market in the world, thus enabling
the company to secure first choice on
products consumed. The uniformly
excellent quality of all shoes turned
out by the Mayer factory is largely at
tributed to this fact.
