BUY CLOTHES RIGHT.
RELIABILITY SHOULD BE THE KEYNOTE OF CLOTHES BUYING THIS SEASON.

The financial squeeze is responsible for much inconsiderate buying on the part of men who feel they must pay less for clothes. Instead of going to the store where they are accustomed to buy clothes, some men have been en- tieed by the cry of low prices. forget ting that the less man spends for clothes, the more careful he ought to be to get reliable goods. Others have probably been unwilling to let their old clothing friends know they had to economize, and so have kept away from the store where they have always gotten satisfactory wears. The best way for a man to do who wants to cut down the price of his Spring Suit is to go to Meigs & Go. $. Then he can be absolutely certain of getting reliable wears, no matter how little he feels he must pay. He can also be certain of getting the latest styles, the best fit ting clothes. and the best tailored clothes sold in town. You will be as- tonished to see what fine stylish suits Meigs & Co.,, are selling at very low prices.
