In Spite of Market Conditions
An Extraordinary
Intensified Value Sale
of
rnter Suits and
Winter Overcoats
at the
One Uniform Price
$30
toll of which are of $35, $38,
$40 and $45 quality
f So far as the prices of Suits and Over
coats for this season are concerned, mar
ket conditions are sewed up tight. Wool
had to be diverted to meet urgent Govern
ment requirements, and mills had to
manufacture fabrics for military clothes,
creating high prices for both merchandise
and manufacturing costs on this Winter's
Suits and Overcoats.
Ifl Therefore, even a month ago it seemed
utterly impossible to us to be able to
swing an Intensified Value Sale this sea
son. But we resolved to do it anyway, and
we did it. By taking fabrics that we had
purchased to advantage over two years
ago; by securing exceptional price con
cessions from manufacturers; and by sac
rificing almost all our own legitimate
profits, we have been able to hold a spec
tacular Intensified Value Sale of over
three thousand Suits and nearly two
thousand Overcoats of unquestionable
and unqualified $35, $38, $40 and $45
quality
at the
One Uniform Price
$30
C It's a clear and clean-cut saving of five,
eight, ten and fifteen dollars on Suits and
Overcoats which are of unmistakable $35,
$38, $40 and $45 quality in good stores
everywhere this season.
