A Perry Reduction Sale has always
been welcomed by men of discrimina
tion as an opportunity to get Perry Fit,
Style and Workmanship at less than
their well-known low, reasonable Perry
Prices !
It's I he Character
of our Clothes that
appeals to such men!
J That Character was never more
pronounced than it is this season!
I To begiiTwith we had the finest array of
fabrics weaves and patterns to be found
nowhere else ! The Tailoring was thoroughly
done; the Lines, the Fit, the Style of our
Overcoats and Suits the finest we have pro
duced in years!
I And we kept our regular prices 'way below
the Market because we got the woolens and
worsteds long before the serious advances in
cost of materials had taken place!
But, we are reducing those Prices
in this Sale because it is our time
for stock clearance! You've never
had a Bigger Opportunity to save
money- by stocking up! Do it, and
do it NOW!
