HOW TO BUY CLOTHING WISELY,
OUTLINED BY THE U. S. GOVERNMENT
Clothes Must Offer Protection and Freedom, Combined With
Beauty and Self-Respect, Circular Declares Shopping With
a Definite purpose Suggested Purchaser Advised
Not to Expect Savings at Bargain Counter
Uncle Sam through the Department of Agriculture is teachinc his constitu
ents how to buy clothes. Wise spending paves clothing for the family, declares
a two-page circular that is being sent broadcast throughout the country. What
do you want of your clothing? What kind of clothing do you need these are
the pertinent questions dwelt upon in the circular.
Under the heading of
"HINTS FOR BUYERS"
Uncle Samuel gives his numerous nephews some excellent advice. The following
extracts fit in so beautifully with our business policy that we give them publicity:
"Learn to recognize quality, a reliable salesman will help you in this."
"Do not expect great savings from the bargain counter unless you are a
good judge of materials."
"Choose good materials for things that will get hard wear."
"In buying ready-made clothing insist on good materials, style and work
manship. If you always do this the dealers will be encouraged to supply them."
"Be sure that the thing you choo&e is becoming to you and appropriate to
Its purpose."
Briefly Uncle Sam's Advice Is:
" BUY VALUE."
Ttiat's been our, strong talking point for
many years.
