Making a Business Of
High Quality
VOU know perfectly well that the val
! ue Of things you buy isn't in what
somebody says about them; the man who
bought the gold brick bought It on
what somebody said.
Quality isn't just word; it's a fact; you
don't get it in clothes unless its there.
Hart Schafner & Marx make business Of
ing. smart style.
We make business of selling that kind
Of merchandise. We could sell cheaper
stuff at lower prices; stuff that's lower
priced because its cheaper quality. We
don't sell it because customers real
ly don't want it; no sgold bricks here.

Alarm Over Influx
 of Refugees Felt

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. - Alarm over the influx of refugees into Greece was expressed today in advices from Athens to American Red Cross head quarters which quoted Dr. DoXiades, Greek minister of relief. as declaring that inability of Greece to support the increased population placed the na- tion's fate in the balance.
 Whether we survive or perish as a nation" said DoXiades, depends on the help We get from the outside"
 The Red Cross was informed that 350,0O0 refugees were on their way to Greece from Constautinople, while a like number was reported moving to Greece from northeastern Asia Minor. Such an influx, on top of those already have taken refuge within Greek bor- ders, would bring the total number of refugees to nearly 1,500,O00.
