How We Do It,

That's not our style" said an old merchant on Saturday, "Hirsh, how do you expect to compete with the many mark down and reduction sales if you advertise that you are selling clothing at the old prices? Why not also sell it with mark down?" ''Because that's our style," we answered. ''The public soon 'tumbles' to the mark down advertise ments."
 We are doing the iveliest business in Waterbury because prices are now, al- ways have been since our opening, and always will be from 30 to 40 per cent lower than they are at s'mark down stores." Hirsh's is always the best place to buy clothing for either men, boy or child. We guarantee satisfaction or money refunded.
