TF YOU'RE not getting better clothes
for the same money this season than
ever before, its your own fault. Hart,
Schaffner & Mark anticipated the new
tariff and made enormous purchases of
woolens abroad. When the new tariff
became effective, these woolens were
imported for this season's trade at new
tariff savings.
Now it's up to you to profit by the merch
andizing courage and foresight of this
great tailoring house; they "chanced it"
as no other maker did, in making these
heavy advance purchases; you don't
have to chance it at all. The saving is
a sure thing for you.
