A Much Pleased Customer.

A mail order for suit of clothes
came to us a. few days ago from a
customer who lives in Minnesota,
and so that he might take his choice
of what suited him best, we sent him
two suits of clothes, and today we
received a draft for 10000 in pay
ment OF the two suits we sent. This
is further evidence that the Ben Bear
customers are pleased with our
clothing. as this particular man in
stead of buying one suit of clothes
bought two suits. The truth of the
matter is this firm sells clothing of
Equality and people know it, and
what's more there is saving of at
least ESQ when our prices are conf
pared to, charges in larger cities. 1t
pays to send to us for clothing and
still better if it's possible, We are
glad to have people come and make
their selection.
