Good News for the Thousands That Do Their Shopping Saturday

t
One of the Guests at a
Country Hotel
went off alone for a walk over the mountains,
and, not knowing that thevwoodchoppers' Winter
roadways of sledding; logs were partly obliterated
by the Spring and Summer overgrowth of weeds,
bushes and wild flowers, the stranger man soon
found himself hopelessly lost and could only
Wander, no doubt often in a circle, until toward
sunset by a long detour he descended the
niOUniaill imu u vunvj iiiuta anu iiiiico num iua
domicile.
Running through the valley was a little
jbrook of brown water.
By backing oil: from the little creek to, get a
good start and a quick jump, he would have
landed upon the other side of the creek, where
the road was visible that led homeward.
I But the man declinedUhe certainty of being
on the home side of the creek which offered itself
to him, and he kept along in the tangled, pathless,
Weed-filled meadows, and when a mile and more
farther down stream, had to wade up to his knees
to get over fo the road nearby.
Such is life in regular business or
Speculations. We are easily drifted from the
harrow, safe paths, .and sometimes get sub
merged in difficulties that we could have avoided
and so have saved more than our ruined shoes
and spoiled clothes from wading out of an ever
deepening little river.
' THis store takes few risks in merchandise.

A Few Peculiarities of Our
Men's Clothing Service
That Mean a Whole Lot
No manufacturer can
tell us just how good our
men's clothing needs to be.
We believe in having
things as good as they
should be, not merely as
good as they need be.
We have our own stand
ard of men's clothing qual
ity and there is none
higher anywhere.
''"All our men's suits come
up to it; all of them are of
one brand, and that is our
own.
We will never le satis1
fied to put our name on a
suit that is inferior to any
other suit offered at the
same price in any other
place. Why should ve?
There is nothing to pre
vent us from giving a man
the fullest measure of
value and satisfaction in
a suit of clothes it is a
thing we can easilv do, and
without the slightest doubt
we are doing it.
Standard styles, young
men's styles with vim and
piquancy, sports models
anything you desire with
out overstepping the line
of good taste and self-respect.
Prices $45 to $75.

China Makes a Silk
That Wears Best
of Any
Genuine Chinese Shantung pon
gee of the heavier, finer grade, at
$3 a yard, has never been equaled
for its toughness and its ability to
stand any amount of hard wear and
many tubbings.
That means everything to a man
or woman who wants a silk for
sports clothes, riding breeches, golf
costumes, motor coats, outing
shirts and especially business suits.
This $3 Chinese Shantung has
been and still is selling in such
quantities and is so much liked that
we have found it better, especially
in the present condition of the
Chinese market, to import only this
particular grade.
