"When the Frost is oil the
Punkin' and the Fodder's
. in the Shock"
The trees are almost bare and the Winter
chill is in the air.
Before the sunrise, at 6:52, the thin fairy
moon is escorted into "her daylight' palace by
Venus, the morning star.
In the barnyard the guineas are cluckin' and
clackin' and on the garden wall the roosters arc
on tip toes and "at their best," as James
Whitcomb Riley once said to the writer, who
knew him well.
The change in the atmosphere stirs us to put
on heavier clothes, walk faster and take home
more appetite for dinner.
People may fairly grumble that shorter
hours and increased pay for labor have continued
the scarcity of goods which causes present prices.
We often urge people not to buy if -they can
do without.
Surely it is not the tradespeople's fault that
prices go back slowly.
The remedy rests wholly on the United
States Government.
Signed
Nov. SO, 1019.

$15. They are of gabardine,. Poiret twill, serge, velour,
broadcloth and silvertone, in such colors as navy, black,

and all are beautifully finished; also all are inter-
, lined. . .
The dresses at $50 mean a saving of $20 to $27.50.

lette, paulette, Georgette and satin; colors being navy,
black, brown, beaver and henna. The styles are many.

The' Things That Matter
in a Man's Suit
are, first of all, the man there is no substitute 'for manhood.
Next to that, the most important,thing is the material there is no substitute for wool.
The third essential is workmanship, more particularly hand tailoring there is no sub
stitute for the human hand when it is a question of kneading and moulding a garment into
the shape that stays shapely. Our whole philosophy of men's suits calls for the use of the
vital, original, irreplaceable things, tp the exclusion of substitutes, subterfuges and makeshifts.
The suits we are showing represent the maximum of worth and quality in materials
and making, the materials being-the best woolens used in any suits offered for our prices
that is a demonstrable fact and the workmanship being of the finest kind known in the
ready-to-wear clothing business, a fact which invariably proves itself in the wear. As for
the fashion, well, in this Store it simply has to be right.
Men's suits, $32 to $80.
Men s overcoats, $40 to $80.

These are quite new, and are in
smart and becoming shapes. Not

shapes.

"Nobody Has Boys' Suits at $16,50
and $18 Equal to These"
So we are told by people who
have been shopping around.
One woman brought in a gar
ment she had bought for her
boy last "year In another store,
with 'the idea df letting us see a
"horrible example." What a
fabric that was! Cotton, warp
and woof. After a few months
.of wear "it began to turn white"
so the woman said. We told
her that it was then showing
its true color, the.color of the
cotton of which it was made.
It cost as much as all wool does
in this store and it could not pos
sibly give one-third of the wear,
and as for looks well, it looked
just what'it was a rag.
When people buy such tilings
we wonder it that they
don't realite or that they forget
that the standard all-wool boys'
clothing of the country Is sold
here at the lowest prices possible
for the quality, often as low as
part or all-cotton suits are sold
for in other places..
If $16.50 to $18 be the price
range within which you want to
get a suit for your boy we can
show you the best all-wool, fine
ly toilored suits in America at
these figures single-breasted,
some plain, some made with
yokes and belts, some at $18,
having two pairs of trousers, the
( others both at $16.50 and $18 be
ing reinforced at the knees, seats
and elbows.
