STETSON HATS
Bring Spring
When the windows bloom with new
shapes and colors in soft hats and
derbies, built to go with the new
suits and top coats, men chirk up.
It's Springtime; and Stetson Hats
arc the first sartorial blossoms.
This season there are some new
ideas: One is a Comfort Derby in
various shapes, which conforms to
the head that wears it, no matter
where the "bumps."
Another soft hat is The Pacemaker, with a slight
pitch to the brim that is new: self-.itripcd band
and a crown about the usual height, with a
tapering effect that should
appeal particularly loyoung
men.
When It's hat time It's
Stetson time, with men who
think before they buy.

Wool shortage dye famine and mills on short time or closed, have sent fabric prices "out of sight." In
spite of these unusual and business-disturbing conditions we are showing today what is the finest collection of
fast-dyed, all-wool fabrics for men's wear that can be found under one roof in the whole city.
It has been "some hustle" and some shrewd buying, even with cash in hand, to get them over 350
separate, distinct styles. But they're here for your inspection and your order to turn them into correct, up-to-the-minute
spring suits at prices no higher than we charged when the wool market was normal.
This is an extraordinary, unprecedented result. When we started buying for this sale we didn't know
whether we could do it or whether we'd have to boost prices like the other fellows.
