Every man understands that there is a considerable loss involved in the disposal of merchandise at such prices as are marked on the Men's and Young Men's Clothing in this WINTER CLEARANCE. In some eases the loss falls upon us, in others upon tho manufacturers from whom we have recently bought close out lots. But no man need concern himself about that. Manv of our customers have had to take losses in their own business, and every man should be alert to make up his own losses by taking advantage of every opportunity that presents itself for SAVING MONEY and HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY. Compare these prices with the prices you paid in 1920, and you will rind they average almost one half less. And we are sure they are considerably lower than regular prices can possibly be for equal grades in the coming spring, or even next autumn.
