Why? It's a short story.
Buyers have found the place
to buy proper Clothing at low
prices-popular prices, lower
in some instances than whole
sale prices. Yes, proper Clo-
thing-proper cloth, proper
trimmings, proper sewing,
proper fitting, proper styles,
and best of all, proper prices.
We believe the people are on
the lookout for the really good
thing at lowest prices.
Isn't it true, and does it re-
quire eyeglasses to determine
that we sell at lower prices.
