Good Personal Management
Thrift and Good Clothes

TNHRIFT does not meagerness or
scrimping 1t does not going with
out those things which are essential to
your personal welfare or efficiency. Nor does
it mean false or fancied economies.
For false economy is waste.
Thrift is best practiced by wise personal
management-by eliminating extravagances,
by avoiding fripperies, by doing without non
essentials and by getting full value for every
dollar you spend. That's thrift.
In clothes, as we'll as in most things the best
is always the cheapest. 1t pays to buy good
clothes. 1t pays in dollars and cents.
You neither practice thrift nor help your
government nor add to your self respect, nor
serve your fellow man when you neglect your
personal appearance.
The we'll dressed man gains in self respect
and confidence He shows confidence in him
self, in his country and in the future
This store is headquarters for clothes that
promote thrift.

comfort that a closed car affords,
it lends itself toward the conser-
Walton of the health of the men

The models we have received

An example of how the revision OF

aged 100000 yearly also the taxes

not in excess OF Is per cent. OF the in

per cent Of 1t. $4,000. "a.
Seventy per cent. OF tho amount OF

OF the invested capital,

KITcHIN WAR PROFITS PLAN.
No tax would be paid as profits for
the taxable year are not in excess of
the average net income for the pre-war
period.
FINANCE COMMITTEE PLAN.
Thirty per cent. OF the amount OF
net income exceeding the credits and
not in excess of 20 per cent OF the in
vested capital, S35.1O0.
Sixty per cent. of the amount OF net
income exceeding 20 per cent. OF the in
vested capital.
Amount by which 80 per cent. OF the
net income in excess of the war profits
credits exceeds the sum Of the taxes
above.

A corporation having an invested
capital OF 100000, however, if it's
present profits amount to 81 .o0O.O and
its average earnings during the pre-
var period were only 100000 would
pay exactly the same amount under the
Finance Committee plan or the war
profits plan in the House bill. In either
case the tax would amount to STl7,6O0.
