tons as ready accept Tribune advertising invitations as any
others perhaps bit ready not primarily through
special claim however that the Hamilton concern came unoer

interesting advertised offerings of the firm and NJ H. Roberts, e
president of the company fair chance to subsanae MS
promises in print of Retail Wholesale Prices and the money
saving lure.
There is one way in which Mr. Roberts cling to his pet
slogan get back truth by lowering his prices by
his present methods simply trckng the public No longer
however glad say, he cking them through The tribune
OF this alternative Tribune Tribune the management of
this paper chose the latter and politely suggested to Mr. Roberts
that his advertisements would look better elsewhere

untrue The Hamilton Garment Company does manu- some
Garments but The Tribune unable discover that they sell to
retail except their And they do not sell at
such prices give the public the benefit of the retailers profit
False statements such this only detrment to the public
but are the most unfair kind Of competition from which the
utable retail trade suffers.
