Strawbridge & Clothier's Notable Profit-Sharing Sale
of Thousands of Men's Suits, Overcoats and Trousers
We learn that men are being told at other stores that certain good styles of Over
coats (which they do not have in stock) are "not being worn!" Then these men come here
and find that they are being worn and that we have a good supply of them! So it goes.
Proving every day that WE HAVE THE GOODS the best assorted stock of Clothing in
this city. Perhaps the only stock that could be called COMPLETE. There are thousands
of garments in the Profit-Sharing Sale scores of different lots, and MANY NEW GROUPS
ADDED FOR TO-MORROW SATURDAY.
