$40 suits for men.
5000.

More men want medium
weight suits right now than we
first anticipated. OF the 200
suits we put on sale yesterday
morning about a third OF them
were sold. They are suits which
may be worn with comfort all
winter-not without an overcoat,
but few people go without that
in severe weather. They are $40
suits, too-the best $40 suits you
have ever seen. Splendid as
sort1nent of mixed patterns
which which you'll like in neat
cheviOts.
There are not many summer
suits left, and what there are are
large sizes; some of them sold
up to as high as $3.50, but no
matter they all go at S. the suit.
