We hatter ourselves that We have cs-
tahlishod q reputation for selling r'ia-
bic clothing without resort 70 all sorts OF
schemes and exaggerated announce
mouts. We Will never try to get yoar
trade that way.
No sensible. reasonable Businessman
expects to buy new, s~easouabie goods at
a sacrifice. he understands that there
must be q weakness somewhere when
such means must bc resortcd 10 t. sell.
he knows too well that business cannot
he done successfully on those principles.
We MAKE THE CLOTHES WE
SELL, and don't handle the kind that
CAN or MUST bee sold ut a SACltl-
FICE. Our house Is NOT a dumping
ground for bankrupt stocks. W. don't
hunt up stuti that everybody else has
refused to buy. We wouldn't have 1t.
It's worth l.ss than II costs-at any
price.
We don't have to force OUR stock
ont. 1t has a VALUE and sells on IT'S
merits.
W sell good clothes CHEAPER than
any other house In this vicinity. We
can afford to do it,. Buying the cloths
direct from the mills and doing OUR
OWN MAKING means q handsome
saving t. us-aud to You.
We employ the best labor it Is posi-
bic to ct, and our clothes are, there
fore. better ma5e and better fitting than
those made by unsluiled workmeu.
OUR CLOTHES prove It,.
Haze Won even seen orr stock? Have
Won ever examined the make AID finish
No? Then if You are interested We
would bc glad to have you visit ms.
You would see how arifully GOOD
CLOTHS are made into GOOD
CLOTHES. 1t isn't like the Kind that
sold al a s4crince-don't look like it.
All kinds Of Clothes to suit all kinds
of people.
SUIT in all shapes and sizqs, $40 to
$50. We ear tit you and viii give salts
