This is getting at the bottom
of the overcoat question.
For the man who has SlS,
$50, $22 or S25 to spend.
For him who has more.
Buying an overcoat IS strictly
a business proposition.
SO much mOney-SO much
value: in wear, warmth and
style.
We don't expect you to pay
a cent for our name.
The value is in the garments
themselves.
Our name simply guarantees
that you won't be disappointed,
for it means your money back
any time you're not satisfied
any time you feel you've not
had a great big round dollars
worth for every dollar spent.
Every sort of good overcoat
