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