died at 1870 O'Clock. The poison was con-

The meanest clothing possible

Let that answer you for a
starting point, There is cloth
ing-you have seen it-that
you wouldn't buy That no.
body ought to. Not to be sold
i'll Il proper store with credit.
Not to be sold by a,terson,
anyway-or-prics. Wen
shut up the store, first.
What kind is worth paying
for, then? You'll have to look
in that direction first. Can't
decide about price at all till
you decide about quality and
make.
Now, we're on the right
track. You want clothing that
is reliable; not the meanest.
ut all; the best, if you can get
it at IL just price the best.
even if somewhat unjust in
price.
You have been paying too
much for that; or buying a
little poorer rather than pay
quite SO high a price; and so,
thinking it was the clothing
that attracted you, mean cloth
ing has kept its feet at its mean
price.
You needn't give it eye
sight any longer We keep
reliable clothing reliable in
cloth, style workmanship to
sell at the lowest price.
We're going to give you
best makes at prices You can
pay; at just prices. We're
going to have al the business
We can attend to. and we don't
know any limit to that. We're
going to swallow up the busi-
ness that meaner clothing
it had fast hold of. Will you
help?
