A few reasons why we are headquarters
for Clothing:
1st.-Everybody knows our prices are
cheaper than any other merchants in town
2d.-0ur clothing are always new and in
style. as we don't buy clothing to keep, but
to sell
3d.-We don't charge one man five dol
lars for suit and his neighbor seven dollars
for the same; our prices are uniform.
4th.-And this is very important. We
take all kinds Of produce; You don't have to
pay the cash every time. Stop and think
about this reason minute
5rh.-We expect to stay here this is our
home. We don't come from Jerusalem and
expect to go there again after making lit
tie money
6th.-We keep almost anything yOn need
in your family We don't have to make our
living in cloJhing entirely, therefore can
sell for less profit than an exclusive clothing
house
7th.-We have put our oveTcoats down
this week to such price that you will buy

very pretty ways To convince yourself
