One Thing We Distinctly Aim at
in This Business
Is that every man who
knows> us or reads our
ads. will know that
this is the store for
quality in clothing.
We would rather be
known as the right
place for good stuff
than as a place where
you get low prices.
It is always easy to
quote prices but it is
what the prices buy
that counts.
We sell
Hart Schaffner &
Marx and David
Adler & Sons
Clothing and we want
you to know it. We
cannot give you any
better evidence of our
standard qualities than
that they are the best
made.

white child who was sitting on the doorstep of its home;
and flung it into the street. The action was observed by!
a number of Ken who started after the chinamen. They
