The Why and the Wherefore
of the growth of this business is summed up in two words:
Quality and Price
Quality has been the main-spring in the life of this big business
and -our Producer to Consumer Plan, a step that has guaranteed the
lowest price possible by the elimination of the middle-man. Every
week, every day in every week, brings a bigger volume, proving these
two factors to be the Why and the Wherefore the touch stone that
keeps alive the flame of Public confidence.

You Can Enjoy the Summer in a
Cool Cloth Suit, Mr. Man

t he case may be, they keep on smiling. Each man has made a double saving, for he knows
tliat the suit he is buying is good for at least a month's wear this Summer, and will be
iresh and ready for the hot days next year, when suits like these will be about half as
much again, if not much more.
