This isn't paid ad and it is put for
ward only in the interest of our read
ers. This is the point-if you are GO
ing to buy suit of clothes don't imag-
inc you have to go to Flint or Saginaw
or any other large town in order to get
the very latest styles or the finest and
most fashionable fabrics, and get them
at low prices. We went into the local
clothing stores the other day and had
the pleasure of seeing the finest
lines of clothing for men and young
men that it has ever been our pleasure
to inspect. The woolens and worsteds
were simply beautiful and the tailoring
was faultless. The prices were reve-
lation. The editor resided in several
big towns for a number of years, he
has been a careful observer of prices
and values because it has been in his
line of business, and it is his honest
opinion that you cannot buy better
clothing, dollar for dollar, in the whole
country than you can buy right here in
Clio. OF course, the maintainance and
prosperity of our home town is vital
consideration to everyone that lives
hereabout, and nothing is more con-
duciye to that end than that the largest
sible amount of our patronage should
be bestowed upon our home merchants.
especially when we can do that with
advantage to ourselves. We haven't
anything to say about the mail order
houses; their promotion of their own
business is commendable, but we have
this to say: look over the stocks of your
home merchants first, and then il their
prices, qualities and terms are as good
as those of the foreign merchants, your
own interest recommends that you give
them your business. You'll be agree
ably surprised IL you try this looking al
home plan, and wen venture that not
much of your trade will be bestowed or
outside firms.
