What's new for fall?

We 1ada AhGW AOI AG1la
a GOOD many men and young men are asking
- that question about clothes.
Here's the first item of interest: Hart Schaffner
& Marx suits and overcoats for fall have arrived
The popular fabrics are worsteds chevoits,
tweeds irdescent shades, greens, browns grays, in
checks, plads Stripes and mixtures-and they're
all-Woo every one OF them.
Military touches in suits and overcoats are the
big idea; belts all around pouch pockets with flaps,
patch pockets, accented wastlines. These are just
a few of the newest features.
We don't need to argue about the merits of
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes; you know they re
good clothes; you know that they are guaranteed
TO give you satisfaction or your money back
The values are unusual.
