Last and Final
Intensified Value Sale
of the Season!
I The Intensified Value Idea has been a
strong feature of our policy for several sea
sons, and, therefore, we go to the utmost
lengths to live up to it and make it a shining
example of saving, the more so when prices
of all things in general run high. ,
J We are able to sell these Suits and Over
coats at $20 because, and onlv because, we
purchased the fabrics under price, some, as
far back as December, 1915, and held them
with our Intensified Value Idea in mind.
Besides, we saved on their manufacturing
costs and have added only a small margin
as our own legitimate profit.
1
I But the proof of the most-highly praised
pudding is in the eating; and the proof of the
nature of a bargain is in the merchandise!
All you have to do is examine these Intensi
fied Value Overcoats and Suits, pass judg
ment on them in comparison with $35, $30,
$28 and $25 values, and then secure two or
three of them at this week's price $20 the
garment! It will be the best investment for
the .money that you can make in the United
States today!
