AS THANKSGIVING IS
TO THE REST OF THE YEAR
Sc Is M. G. X. to Other Ready-to-Wear
Stores.

Just as we are thankful for many
other things on Thanksgiving day,
just so should we be thankful that
there is a store in our midst, upon
which we can absolutely rely-know-
ing that we get value in full for our
money as to style, material and other
things, which tend to make up the
meaning of the word value. Such a
store is the M & X.
Many things have entered into the
making of this intangible prestige, in
separately attached to the NJ. & K.
name, but the main thing is that the
word of the NJ. & X. can be absolute
y relied on, as can their goods and
service.
Carrying mems clothing made by
firms whose regulations are more than
country wide-including Carson, Mey-
er & Co, Hart Schaffner & Marx,
Clothcraft and Society Brand manu-
facturers, NJ & X. clothing ranges in
price from $12 to $35 for suits and
from $3.50 to $45 in overcoats. Their
values at all prices are beyond the
real prices. Stetson hats, Phoenix
mufflers, Onyx brand, Wilson Bros,
Phoenix and McCallum hosiery, Ealgle
and Manchester brand shirts; II. & P
gloves and other things from makers
just as we'll known, tend to uphold the
reputation of the mems department.
In the shoe department, again only
leaders in each line are handled. In
the better women's shoes, the peer
less Armstrong shoe is featured
while the Edwin Clapp shoe for mel
stands at the head of our mems list
although accompanying 1t are the
Commonwealth, Packard and Flor
sheim shoes.
Among both ladies and gentlemen's
shoes is special shoe made for the
II. & K to sell for $3.50 and SO. 1t Ii
the peer of all $3.50 and 50 shoes.
