This idea that
Sa5 is a good
price to pay for a
suit of clothes

seems to have struck a re-
sponsive chord in the
minds of a lot Of men.
Many of you realize that
you have been too careless
about clothes buying;
you've spent your money
for results you didn't really
get.
There's no reason why you
shouldn't buy your clothes
Just as you do other things;
with the same demand for
a value-equivalent for your
money. If you demand
goods at the lowest pos
sible price, you must expect
to get the lowest possible
value. The importance of
paying a little more lies in
the more you get in looks
and durability.
If men were more care
full on this price point,
they'd get better returns
for their money. We
suggest $25 for suit as
a good place to start
your reform.
