We can tell you how to do one and not the other; save, not waste. Every patriotic man wants to serve in any and evefy way he can; there are ways to serve even in the matter of clothes-buying. i Dont buy any if you have clothes that will do; some men have plenty. 2 Take such care of your clothes; keep them cleaned, pressed, hung up carefully when not in use; make them last longer. 3 If you find it necessary to buy, be sure of good quality; get clothes that last long and look well, so that next season you wont need to buy new ones. You'll save money, labor, materials $ three things the nation needs. Our clothes are made to do it. Hart Schaffner & Marx Good Clothes Makers prices at tho army store and average city establishment.
