Clothes Are Cheaper Here

We met man from Detroit, on our

boosting for Belding right. He said
he tried to buy suit of clothes in
Detroit. The clothes were a we'll
known brand, handled by dealers all
over the country and the Detroit deal
er wanter $85 for the suit. The
would be buyer refused to pay the
price and decided to come up here for
visit even if he had to wear his old
togs. While here he went into a To-
cal clothing store and purchased a
suit identical in size, etc. and made
by the same concern for $4,000. Saw
ing that $35 was just like getting
money sent him from home to that
bird and he was telling everybody
