Be Patriotic About
Buying Clothes
You may not need clothes this
fall; if you can get along with what
you have save the money for
Liberty Bonds or War Savings
Stamps. But—if you have to buy,
remember this:
You don't buy anything in j
which Quality is more important .
than wearing apparel. You ought I
to be very particular what you get 9
tor your Money, especially because
it’s so easy to make poor quality
in clothes look very good, and there
is plenty of poor quality to be had.
COME TO THIS STORE
and view our styles, Quality you
can rely on absolutely. The new
styles are economical but smart
looking as ever.
