by people of good taste not necessarily the highest-priced, but the sound, well-finished

That Clothing Question
If there are any excessive profits
in the Clothing trade we can get no
definite trace of them. What we do
know is that cloth mills are supplying
the Clothing manufacturers by allot
ment can't fill all their orders, even
at increasing prices. Most of the tail
ors are foreign-born, and hosts of
them have returnpd tn l.hnir nnfi'vp
land. Wages have much more than doubled in the past
few years.
All that we have been able to do and what we have
been doing throughout the period of rising cpsts is to
invest large sums in anticipation of further increase.
Thus far, we have saved many thousands of dollars for
our customers by so doing. Even our present stock is
owned by us at far less than it would cost to duplicate it
which means that our Men's Clothing at our regular
prices is a GOOD INVESTMENT for any man to-day.
But these Several Hundred Spring and Au-
tumm Suits at Reduced Prices (now $19.50,
$24.50, $26.50 and $34.50), are Really Exlraor
dinary Values.
These nre principally remainders of spring and summer lines
rnnnAmnmS uch variety and so grouped as to make a
GOOD ASSORTMENT of sizes and styles at each price. Light
and dark fabrics; good two-button and three-button styles, all
thoroughly well tailored, all from our own regular leliable manu
facturersnow reduced to $19.50, $24.50, $26.50 and $34.50.
