SAVE MONEY-BUY
YOUR UNDERWEAR
AT McCOY'S

This store has always sold the best
values in women's and children's union
suits for winter wear, but this year
more than ever, you owe it to your
self to inspect our values, because
they are the greatest money-savers
in town. Carriers Underwear is not
only made from the best materials
but it is made the best of any under
wear you can find in Minot. All
seams are the fiat lock type and all
garments with the Carter label fit you
so comfortably. Once you wear a
suit of Carter underwear you will
never consider any other brand be-
cause you get such absolute satisfac-
ton from wearing Carter made gar
ments. Stocks here are very COM
plete just now, in all styles, sizes and
qualities. You can choose from a
complete assortment if you buy now,
not only that but our selling prices
are based on the actual cost of these
garments. Since we placed our or
der early last spring for this falls
stock we have been advised of an &C
tual advance of 45 per cent by the
factory. Later on our prices will no
doubt have to advance considerably.
