MAKES GOOD RECORD
Topeka Branch Gately Stores Was
Hundredth Store in Chain.

Last October, when the Gately
Credit Clothing Co. opened for bust
ness at 919 Kansas avenue, the new
store made an even one hundred in
the GateIy chain of credit clothing
houses The underlying idea embod-
led in the Gately business is to sell
clothing for men and women on a
basis of small weekly payments. and
the immense buying capacity of a hum
dred stores enables the company to
sell on this plan at low prices
Mr.. T. V. Rooney, the manager of
the Topeka store, says that although
this branch has been running less
than six months, the business has
shown a very encouraging steady
growth and the merchandise has
moved so we'll that there is nothing
to be shown now but the new spring
apparel and furnishings.
