clothes have been learning things during the months since you marched off to war. They've added kinks and touches that mean more comfort, smartness, service.
 You'll be glad to pay more for these clothes. You'll agree they're worth more.
 w aiting I'll not help. Prices must stay high while labor does.
 And you need that new suit now to help you land that new job. Whats a few dollars more in a suit if it puts more dollars in your pay envelope?
 Dress up! That's your first job. See the reliable clothier = buy the known make. Follow this simple rule and your money will be wisely invested, whatever price you pay. And for sure satisfaction
