Substantial Quality
of our merchandise
Men of Affairs the THINKING business or professional men are among
the many who are purchasing of us, because of the known quality and lasting
service of our merchandise.
As every newspaper reader knows, present conditions in the clothing market
have been brought about through the necessity of Governmental intervention in
the distribution of woolens, through stoppage of supplies at the source and through
shortage of labor.
In order to preserve and conserve the use of wool and the employment of
labor we are continually urging the purchase of clothes that will give such last
ing wear and satisfaction, that one good suit may answer the purpose of two poor
ones.
We believe this to be the proper attitude of both dealer and consumer.
