A Special Lot of 147 Men's Extra
Fine Ulster Coats Reduced
to $40 Each
This is not a flaunting sale, but one of the actual oppor
tunities that sometimes come unexpectedly in the course of a
great business.
147 fine, semi-storm type ulsters whose price up until now
was $5 to $20 more and you take your choice at $40 each.
It comes as a result of a special purchase we were able to
arrange with a manufacturer who makes most of our coats of
this kind.
We asked him for something extra good to pass on to our
customers, and the disposal of these coats at this price is the
result.
We have many clothing customers who would never, under
any circumstances, buy clothing elsewhere than at Wanamaker's.
To these steadfast friends we especially recommend this
disposal as airopportunity to get fine, fashionable, new coats at
a low price.
Coats are moderately heavy, very warm, with storm type
collar and lapels and town overcoat length.
They are in neat, dark patterns, 100 per cent all-wool, hand
tailored and guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction.
