times as many men accustomed to paying $15.0, $20.00 and $25X0 regu
larly. So far we haven't kept up the ratio. But, we are going to dispose
of them. We're going to keep urging 3-ou to see them knowing if you
do you will buy them. If the men of this town don't appreciate such
values and such assortments we're going to sell them out to peddlers.
It seems a shame to sell such garments to peddlers. They will make an
enormous profit on them but our principle must
be upheld. Well open next Spring with all new
clothes no matter what method must be employed.
We urge you again to see these suits. They are
bargains such as no other store in America offers.
All good styles, too. You can wear them for a couple
