X/OU hear u great deal nova
days about the increased
cost of woolens. You are
paying more for your clothes now
than you did before. But do you
know just how much more you
should pay because of the present
situation in woolcns?
The fact is that some clothing
houses have boosted their prices
out of all proportion to the actual
increase in prices.
The Facts About the Wooden Situation
Of course, no tailor can honestly
claim that he can give you the
same quality of material and work.
manship in a suit at the same price
as he formerly charged. But for
the amount of cloth hat goes into
a suit the advance in cost cannot
be nearly SO great as is commonly
supposed, and as some tailors
would have you think.
In order to be sure of quality
and value this season, it will pay
you to go to a reliable, conscien-
tious tailor. You may be asked to
pay a dollar or two more, but you
will know that you are getting full
value for your money. You will
be protected against excessive
prices because the reliable tailor's
prices will be based entirely on the
actual cost of materials and
manufacturing.
That is the policy that the Haas
& Co. business was founded on
twenty-one years ago. From the
original little basement shop the
Haas business has grown to the
present five-storc organization
and this remarkable development
has been due to the startling new
idea that Haas & Co. has brought
into custom tailoring.
