over values in Perry
Clothes at original
Prices! And never so
true as this season,
when fabric prices and
manufacturing costs
soared and tooksclling
prices generally along
with them! In the heat
of it all we kept our
prices down to rock
bottom, kept them so
near normal that men
generally commented
on it and we were able
to, for the, reason that
we bought our fabrics
early and kept our eye
on the manufacturing
costs! So, when you
come to think of it,
these reductions arc
now made on Suits and
Overcoats, the fabrics
in some 'of which are
now SO to 60 per cent
dearer than what we
paid for them and
marked the clothes ac
cordingly! The only thing to do
is to get here early
enough for finest choice!
