Jacob Keea s sons At this time we jre enjoying a volume of business never before approached in our entire history not merely in a total of Dollars, but in a vast increase of actual number of sales and of pur chasers. We believe this growth is the natural result of our adherence to sound and constructive business principles. We have steadily refused to sacrifice "Qual ity" in order to produce goods to sell at ascertain price and we have also con sistently declined to use the common lure of "Reductions and Bargains" which are really wholly ridiculous in these days when good merchandise is at a premium. In order to supply our patrons witli clothing of the character and quality which they expect and which it is our pleasure to supply, we have formed im portant connections with several large and well-organized manufacturers. Their ideals and aims are akin to our own. They have unexcelled facilities for pro duction, and in these months of scarcity have supplied us abundantly with cloth ing of the type and character which we require and which is confined exclusively to us in Philadelphia. Furthermore as to prices. We know and are repeatedly told by people who are in position to judge, that our clothing is priced at lower figures than any goods approaching it in quality may be had for elsewhere. 1ACOB REEDS SON; M24-M36 Oiestmralt Sfamd NOVEMBER 21, 1910 '" l I Tk T If I P I fP m M m & S p 1 m iasaawl' ' ft Wi REO.
