Suppose we should say $I2.so or $500 for one Of the
hundreds of Suits or Oyercoats we are offering at
$1,000, nobody would think uncommon ofit. We have
had hundreds OF callers within the last week or so,
prompted by mere curiosity. They told us so. They
never dreamed that such a showing could be made. Ten
dollars for Suits and Oyercoats that some OF them were
candid to tell us were as good as their tailor could,
make them for $4,000 and $4,000. They owned up
that they hadn't seen the like in any other store in town
for less than $500, and they are not to be found. The
more critical you are the stronger their light OF sr-
p~eriority shines out, even down to the minutest point
They are tailored in a fashion that would do credit to
any priced garments. Such fabrics and such patterns
we're never known to do duty at such a moderate cost
before. Tailors say that ready-made clothes don't fit,
Wen leave it to our $1,000 if they don't, and not passa-
BILE well, BUT PERFECTLY. Good judgment never
overpays. Don't let prejudice tug your purse strings
wider open than need be for your satisfaction. On
some occasions you need the finest clothes that money
can buy. We've got them, but at business and about
town these $1,000 Suits and Overcoats Of ours are just
what you want. When it's so plain to save, it's wasteful
not to. You'd be the first to caution anybody against
extravaganza. How about %practicing that preaching
Here's the time and opportunity. Bear in mind you
buy with our guarantee, Your money back if not sat
isfed.

The success Of this store, and especially the rapid
growth of the Dress Goods Department, was not
by allowing other stores to undsrsel, but under
every and all circumstances to sell same goods
for less, or better goods for same money.
