Our Coat selling this season
has been unusual. Starting with
no old carried-Over stock, buy
ing nothing but the very best OBJ
tainable goods, cOnfining our
selves strictly to high-class gar
ments we have carried our sea-
son through without advertising
a single reduced coat or cape.
This has only been possible, in
face of the wholesale bowling
and shrieking of reduced coats,
because of our great values and
splendid offerings without trying
to side-track our customers with
bankrupt sales, old styles and
the first warm day that happens
to come along. The end of the
season is only a few weeks off
and our first advertised reduction
now goes into effect-the guam
tity is small.
