'Tisn't good policy to buy any

use, simply because it's cheap.
But it is wisdom to buy Cloth
ing now. During the past
three months when all business
was at a stand still, manufact-
urers were pressed fol- money,
we were enabled with the
ready cash to secure some
great bargains in Cloth and
Clothing, in some instances
fine Worstcds and Cassimeres
were secured for a trile more
than the wool cost.
Unfinished Worsted Suits
at $40, they are all wool and
would in ordinary times sell at

Fine Worsted Suits in Clays,

less than SIS and in many in
stances more.
