Advertising is remarkably inexpensive.
For example, let's use the simplest form of
individual communication between men one
ordinary post card, price one cent.
This short message could be printed on a post
card.
This Message you are reading will be placed in
the hands of more than 5,000,000 people who have
bought this newspaper, or others, in other cities, to
read.
This advertisement on 5,000,000 post cards
would cost more than $50,000 for one mailing.
To reach 5,000,000 costs less than $1500 by
means of this advertisement.
To talk to you, therefore, has cost one thirtieth
of one cent. -

This is the Men's Clothing Store
of Greatest Activity Because of
Unrivaled Variety and Good Values
We sincerely believe that this Clothing Store's stocks, methods and service
encompass 'a greater number of advantages, more real inducements to its cus
tomers, than can be found in any other Clothing store in this city. And these
advantages are even- more pronounced under present conditions than in the
almost-forgotten days of over-production and low prices.
We have the largest assortmont of high-class Clothing in this city. We place our
orders months in advance of the season, for such quantities as insure lowest possible cost
and, in the past three years, especially, we have anticipated rising costs and saved our cus
tomers many thousands of dollars.
Wc are the exclusive Philadelpliia distributors of the Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes,
the Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothing and the "Alco" Clothes, and toe notv have large
assortments of SPRING STYLES in these three famous lines, also a variety of models
from other reliable manufacturers.
We strongly advise, however, that you-make early selection, to insure getting the
most becoming model from your favorite manufacturer, as production is slow, and no as
surance can be had that duplicate orders for models in stock can be filled this season.
All These are Esp ecially Attractive Values
"Alco" Worsted Suits $62.50
Finely tailored Suits, of high-class smooth
worsted fabrics; regular and stout sizes.
Dark Blue Suits $48.50
Unfinished Worsted Suits, in single- and double
breasted styles for men and young men. Practically
all regular, stout, short and slim proportions.
Medium-weight Suits $28.00
In a variety of excellent styles for men and young
men. This price is about present wholesale value of
identical grades.

Suits Special, $38.00
Of blue serge and of neat dark mixed fabrics.
' Tailored by specialists in youthful styles.
Smooth Worsted Suits $43.00
Handsome gray and brown effects; in regular and
