Linking Luxury arid
Savings because of
Our Plan of "Manu
facturing Direct"
This is an appeal to every woman in
Philadelphia! It is an appeal to every
lady of the land who" wishes the luxury
of Furs and desires to save as much as
is commercially possible on her trans
action. Her plan, then, is to patronize this
organization of Manufacturing and Re
tailing Furriers FORBES ! Because
we Manufacture Direct we eliminate all
the middleman's profits, sharing the
savings with our customers, and selling
our Furs for far less than usual. This
assures you also of finest qualities.
