From March q to April 8.
Everybody Boost

Well, spring oress up is here at last
Everywhere new togs are in evidence
Milady is wearing her new bonnet
and the gents are taking the butts oi
their associates about the shape OF
their new spring lids.

Our national Fashion makers have
set aside the weeks of March 9th

Dress-Up.
No, it isn't graft for the mer-
chants TO sell more goods. Merchants
sell goods anyway. If you don't buy
the spring garment you admire in
the window somebody else will.
Christmas wasn't made in the Store
keepers interests, neither is dress

yea viii buy new clothes, probably
you will wait till the end of the sea-
son, then all the effects of your new
new spring suit will be lost, because
everybody viii have been wearing
the new spring togs for a couple of
months and yours won't be new to
anybody but yourself
Why not buy carly, be IN the swim
with your friends, show them you
are alive and up to the minute and
are game to take part in every Amer
lean movement. Ii will be "Sooner
of Later" anyway, so "Why not
