Style is Not
Ruled by Prices.

You can pay the highest kind of prices for your
clothes, yet it does not always follow that you
get the style you ought to get Oftentimes the
highest priced kind are the stifest, most unyield
ing, most ungraceful clothes made making the
wearer look if he had to stand a certain way
to make them fit. That can't be said of our
clothes. Our strong point is lots of style at
moderate price.
