RUMOR
 CONFIRMED Big Drive Started
 By Phoe enix's Leading Tailor

Like clap of thunder coming
 from a clear sky comes the an
 nouncement of Mr. L.. NJ. Byrd,
 manager of the Byrd Tailoring CO.
 we'll known local tailors, of his in-
 tended drive involving the greatest
 sacrifice of high grade woolens
 ever undertaKen in the tailoring
 history of the State of Arizona,
 which under ordinary circumstances
 would hardly be credible when the
 present tremendous increase in the
 purchase price of high grade wool
 ems, and the unsettled state of the
 vyooIen market is taken into consid-
 eration. When pressed for state-
 ment by a representative of The
 Republican relative to the feasi-
 bility of an offer of this kind. MT.
 Byrd stated having been located
 in this community for years, and
 having made thousands of StaCnch
 permanent friends throughout Salt
 River valley who have deemed us
 worthy their friendship and val
 uable consideration in the past, we
 deem it a pleasure in being able 10
 aclxnowledge our sincere apprecla-
 tion to our friends and the pupilc IT
 general for past favorS extended. 1bicT, well known custom Is always adhered to aud fully acknowledSeo
 by all well known reputable con-
 merciaI institutions Ot course
 under ordinary circumstances we would not have given thIs mater d
 moments consideration, as ValueS of this kind are not usually gwen bv reputable tailoring firms. as It entails forfeiting of ones margin of profit entirely, and the unuls-
 n11tabIe fact is fully realized that no commercial institution is based on the principles of charitable or
 eanization, but as prevlously stated
 we are willing for a short time only
 to pit our time. labor and money III a sincere and humble effort on our part to more fully acknowledge our sincere appreciation and gratitude for the whole hearted support ana co-operation of the American public of this community to whom we are deenly indebted to for the unlimited confidence reposed in the integrity and relia biIity of this institution, which has been the means of our accomplishing the wonderful sue cess we have attained after sur mounting untold obstacles in tnls community where we have been permanent residents for years and where we hope to round out our earthly career. Terminating his statement with the remark that the feasibility of the offer he is about to make the general public IS only made feasible through the absolute forfeiting of their margin entirely and producing at the absolute cost of production, otherwise an offer or this kind would be absolutely pre- posterous, entirely out of reason, and a rank insult to the natural in telIigence of the American public. Considering the frank open state ment of MT. Byrd and the offer he is about to make the public which is absolutely bona fide, and the feasibility of which we do not ques- ticn for an instant, and who is only too well known throughout the Salt River valley country, so there is hardly any necessity of de1ying into details relative to the character and integrity of MT. Byrd the genial 1 of the we'll known Byrd | Tailoring Co., who numbers his friends among the thousands and it will behoove the public to be or the alert and watch for the announce ment of this popular tailoring con- cern as it's going to mean the saw ing of a tremendous item to the men l pf Phoenix as we are all fully aware 1 of the tremendous and unheard of 1 prices charged by clothing and taii- | bring firms in general but caused i ,y the unsettled state of the wooden l market the full details of this an will appear in tomor- -ow's issue of The Republican,
