THE TWO WAYS

There are two ways Of con-
Quoting the Clothing bust
ness at the present day
The one in which the dealer
uses his customer tor the
time being and looks only at
the present, thinking that the
future is but a secondary
consideration. In other
words, he max es all that he
possibly can in efecting that
sale. The other: The
dealer figures his prices as
low as he possibly can and
marks them in plain igureson
every garment, thus giving
every customer the same ad'
vantage in buying. Thus
you don't hear in a week OF
two that some one whose
" dealing "propensitles are a
little greater than yours h, ha'
bought a suit exactly like
one you wear for two, o.
probably three or evenmor'
dollars less than you paid a
in the former way. The lat
ter way we chose, and whe'
|you buy goods OF US you ma
rest assured that the price
the very lowest to any one
