Do Oklahoma City mothers ask for

Clothing dealers believe they do.
Style IS the uppermost thought in
every consumers mind, one dealer
announced positively. The days OF
patches on pants are past. Boys IN
rags are buying SO silk shirts when
ever they can &c, that much money.
Reject Wool Suits.
Mothers come in here with their
boys and ask for suits that will wear
When We show them scrviceable wool
suits at conservative prices bought
sometime ago. they object 10 the color
or weave, buying instead cheap half
cotton material in fashionable look
ing suits that don't stand hard wear
two months. Then they blame Us.
Wool is so scarce that the CHEAP
garments for children must be OF cot
ton. We have made vain effort tc
sell corduroy suits. The corduro,
suits mr. boys from 5 10 IS are much
cheaper than wool and wear longer
but its no use. Every mother want:
her boy to wear the best.
No Price Decline.
Prices show a marked advance
with no prospects of declining. Onl,
fraction Of our orders are filleC
because Of the general shortage. Peo
pie want style and are willing to pa,
