NEVER BEFORE have we had so large a stock of
Men's Clothing as we now have NEARLY A
MILLION DOLLARS' worth at our retail
prices, and considerably more than a million dollars'
worth if based upon present cost of production. In
other words, it would cost us nearly one-third more
than we paid to replace the Clothing we now own
(although such a quantity could not now be procured
at any price). Practically all of our present stocks
were purchased months ago, and it is a fact only too
well known, that cloth, trimmings, labor, and every
thing entering into the production of Clothing costs
much more to-day. ,
Therefore, it is entirely safe to say that our en
tire stock, marked as it is at a FAIR PROFIT ON
WHAT WE PAID, and not on the basis of present
cost and market value, is '
Worth Considerably More
Than the Price We Ask
But that isn't all. To some men the fact that WE
HAVE THE GOODS great quantities and wonder
fully varied assortments of attractive 'new styles is
even more important than the saving of money.
AND SO we say, if you have not been our regular
customer, and do not find Clothing to meet your
requirements at the store you have formerly de
pended upon, you will find a COMPLETE ASSORT
MENT HERE. We now have
11,000 Autumn and Winter Suits
9,000 Winter-Weight Overcoats
1,000 Autumn-Weight Overcoats
6,000 Pairs of Men's Trousers
600 Men's Raincoats"
500 Men's Leather Overcoats
400 Fur-Lined and Fur-Collar Coats
500 Youths' Long-Trousers Suits
We have not been tempted by the higher cost of
production to lower our standard of quality, but
rigidly adhere to our rule to sell Clothing of high
character and reliable quality only, depending upon
the well-known manufacturers whose Clothing we
have sold for years THE STEIN-BLOCH COM
PANY, HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX and the
makers of "ALCO" Clothes, also several other houses
not nationally advertised, but equally reliable and
whose Clothing we guarantee for satisfactory service.
THE STYLES represent the highest achievement
of the best Clothing designers in this country.
Since the war, they have given free rein to their
artistic skill and vied with each other in creating the
smartest models ever produced in Suits and Overcoats
for critical men and young men. Wonderful variety
and, considering production conditions, exceptional
values throughout our entire stock. But the pur
pose of this announcement is to emphasize
The Extraordinary Values
Described on This Page
Attractive as are the prices in our regular stock,
we have gathered for this great Sale, through the co
operation of our manufacturers and by forehanded
ness in making our contracts and purchases, a num
ber of EXTRA-SPECIAL lots, which every man whp
needs Clothing should see TO-MORROW.
We have planned to add to our large regular staff
of salesmen to-morrow, that every customer may have
prompt and efficient service all day long but we sug
gest that you come before noon if convenient.

The plan inaugurated by us nine years ago has proved to
most practical and undoubtedly the most successful means of a
ing an early interest and actually inducing our customers to L
their Christmas shopping earlier than they would do without i
mutually advantageous arrangement. . r
Delaying tho buying of gifts until near Christmas is a;hab
