This Shows Where Wanamaker & Brown
Stand in Congressman FranCis O. Lindquist's
Fight for the "All-Wool" Label:
Why Not? '
When you buy an ounce of alum
from your druggist or a pound of
beef from your butcher or a bottle
of catsup from your grocer you are
protected by State or Kede.al laws
from fraud and adulteration.
When you buy a suit of clothes,
an overcoat, or any article of woolen
material from your clothier you are
not protected from adulteration or
imitation.
Why Not?
Is it any more equitable that your
palate' or stomach be safeguarded
from such a possibility than your
back?

Is It any more just that you should
be permitted, under the law, to pay
for a cotton-mixed suit of clothes
the same price that you pay for
all-wool?
Is it reasonable that the clothes
yob wear should go unlabeled when
the food you eat is stamped with
a label showing you just what it is"?
Wanamaker & Brown do not know
how you may feel about the impor
tance of this matter, but Wanamaker
& Brown do know that they .will
welcome gladly the enactment into
law of the Lindquiat measure, which
win require all men who sell clothes
to tell you under penalty of the taw '
whether these clothes are all-wool
or just a cotton imitation of it.
Wanamaker & Brown, who for
more than half a century have sold
to the public of this whole country
only all-wool clothes, have done so
without any inspiration or compul
sion beyond that of their own voli
tion and their' wish to tee their cus
tomers protected.
Is there any reason why others
should not be compelled to do the
same thing?
The correspondence accompanyini
this advertisement shows where we
stand in this matter which, wc-believe,
is of the most vital irapor- 1
tance to all men.
