while some OF the garments are

better than ever before. This store

its business fairly and honestly,
and with the many years of my

am convinced that no other store

lieve that at a time like this when
the cry of profiteering is heard

courses of action in which the hon

our garments are being sold this
year at such a small margin of
profit that it would be impossible
for a small concern to continue in
business, and by doing this we feel
that we are entitled to their con-
sfderation and support.
We are the largest clothing re-
tailers and naturally the public has
a right to expect our Erices to be
