After some weeks of preparation Mr..
Ben Bear Of the Square Dealing Clothing
Store leaves for New York and other eastern
points where clothing Of quality is manu-
featured Making these semi annual bust
ness trips to the big clothing centers of
America is done for the sole purpose of pro-
curing for our many faithful customers the
very best makes and lines Of suits, trousers
and furnishings that money coupled with
intelligent labor can procure.
These trips which have been made for
more than 80 years twice each year are Of
some special interest to our customers be-
cause patrons Of the Square Dealing Cloth
ing Store are kept posted how our clothing
is made and where it comes from. It is no
secret, and the more we can tell this COM
munity about the clothing they buy from
us, the better we like it. We want this
community to know that whatever clothing
they buy from us is not made in sweat-shops
but on the contrary in clean, sanitary
wholesome, day light factories where no
disease exists, and by the most prominent
we'll known manufactures who are as care
full as they know how to be to turn out good,
honest made clothing. This is the only kind
we buy and sell. Our 35 years experience
in this business has taught us that before
anything else it is essential for this business
or any other business for that matter, to
look after all the little details in connection
with it, and by giving my best thoughts and
best work to the buying Of every dollars
worth of goods bring to Decorah has given
this firm prominence in the northwestern
clothing field which but few, if any other
merchant, has accomplished.
go to market ready to order splendid
line Of suits, for men, boys and children, be-
cause our stock has been very much reduced
during our winters business and is being re-
duced more each day, as our annual clearing
sale is still in full progress. For more than
35 years we have endeavored to bring to
DEBORAH the very best in the different lines
of merchandise we sell and it has been my
constant study to impress upon the people
in this community to buy the better lines
and makes Of goods. This has been done
because it is for mutual interest as past ex-
perience has proven conclusively that the
better the goods, no matter what the price
may be, the cheaper they are in the long
run.
The reputation which this firm has for
strictly Square Dealing, for treating people
with courtesy and decency will always be
maintained and wish to add and fully i'm
press upon our friends and customers as
we'll as the public in general, goods must be
exactly as we represent Them and if any
thing is not strictly as it is represented, this
firm is always ready to return money re-
ceived for such articles.
We still have some splendid suits for
Men, Boys, and Children, which are being
offered at most ridiculously low prices, be-
cause we are bound to sell off anything that
we have in the winter lines of clothing, and
we urge our customers to come and take
advantage Of these really great bargains.
In conclusion beg to say that our stock
for Spring will be just as up-to- date, and as
new as any in the country.
Again thanking you for your trade
which is at all times appreciated, am,
Very sincerely,
