Value giving is the basis of all real
business success. and of real value

much profit they can get. It's differ
ent with us-it' S question of value.
You must get your full moneys worth
here and no matter what price you
may pay for suit of clothes, you
must and always get your money
worth from me. We want you to re-
member that we carry a good, reli-
able line of merchandise. we dom
buy any shoddy stuff and don't sell
it Remember, what you buy here is
new, clean, up-to-date, and when you
invest your money here you get good
value for it, and often much more.
