One of the lead- y-s a ing weavers of the U. S. submitted swatches of these ends to the representative of this store, who was in the East late in January buying for next Fall. Prices quoted were but trifling fractions of the real values. There was a total of 3947 vds., enough for 82 suits. Some patterns contained only enough for three suits, some as many as 47 and so on. Coming as it did, between seasons. Spring Clothes having been made and Fall Clothes not started, we found tailoring establishments anxious to make these- fabrics up without thought of profit, solely to keep their men busv. The deal was closed cn January Sth, and now we a can follow our established custom of sharing with our customers every advantage of our buying power and c tier strictly bench tailored Suits of high character at the lowest price ever quoted. i - LAI IT ' WvA', !?EAD EVERY WORO I,. t- .

' ' ' ; ' Why lnJe Made Such Effort Aa ia well known, this store sells an extraordinary number of suits from $15.C0 upwards. We frankly admit some stores sell more suits for less than $13.00. This is not as it should be never was a store more en titled to the bulk of this- particular business. For some reason we've been unable to attract enough, to justify our efforts. Some who want to spend less than $15.00 note the attractiveness of this store and perhaps -imagine, though incorrectly, that we do not care for their trade. Some imagine that our modern "arrange ment precludes, their trading here when in reality it. should be the very place to come. Then, again, many " men know the great number of higher priced suits we sell and imagine we cater entirely to such, trade another wrong surmise. We don't ask for all tha pop ular priced trade we ask only for what our efforts en title us to. It amounts to more than we get. That is honest truth. We want to attract the attention of more fellows with, less than S15.C0 to spend and make them interested in a store that will serve them better than they ever were served. Hence we've plotted for three months to do what is now scheduled for Saturday and Monday. Tslra a Lcsk ai ITiadavrs I, 2, 3 vhai To Expect IVkaa Ycu Gsaa and see the SUITS. Look at them several times the oftener you see them the more determined you'll be to have one. Come in and see them at close range examine them critically, subject them to every test you know. Then, if you want one, all right. If you don't no harm done. We'll still be glad you came to look. 1 842 018 and 015 Hand-Tailored Suits at Ridiculously Low Prico I of I Li iL Expect to find only new 1310 styles.

Expect all these things and then some and You'll not be disappointed. Offer Lbiied to Saturday 5 Co-iday There are only 842 Suits The selling will surely be brisk and the assortment will soon be depleted Then too, they are worth more money and will sell for more in the regular way Hence, after 6 P. M. Monday, the present price will be withdrawn. Come Saturday if possible or Monday without fail. Ankl Strap FumpnT. To be sure! Scores of 'em. Blucher Oxonta?

Where ia the woman who has so often said: "No U3e talking, you simply MUST pay from $3.50 upwards far good shoes these days!" Now, this woman means welL but she DOESN'T know of the Shoe Maxist "Basement." Thi3 is an age of inconsistencies. Even while the words "high ccst of living," are on everybody's tongue, we are reaching bed rock with captivating, sturdily built, 'snappily styled shoes at prices as popular as $1.35 and $2.45 per nair. Surely THAT'S reasonable, isn't it? It goe3 without saying that these are UP-TO-THS-LILD U TE shoes otherwise we couldn't CEOWD that basement as we ASS doing. "Low Cuts" are the theme now we've the style YQU'VS been wonting right alcrg. Shoe Market Basement 322 South 16th Street 322 South 16th Street Will you cut your ice bill in two if we tell yon how?

When it comes to refrigerators we not only sell lower by several dollars on each box, but we carry the very finest line shown in this section. S4.75 to $39 for refrigerators the same make as illustration. What one woman told us: One womnn voluntarily told us that her bill for j ice was from 25c to 40c per day. She read our adver-1 tisement, bought one of our refrigerators and has never since spent more than 10c or 15c per day for ice. Dur ing the summer that would make a saving of from $12 to $25 just on the ice bill enough saved to purchase u very fine refrigerator. Worth investigating isn't it!
