This is so clear and self evident that we don't think anybody can chal lenge it. The only thing anybody can try to do is to "get around it," and that, too, is a pretty difficult feat.

We have these suits in fine selection. They are the highest grade suits in fabrics, fashion and workmanship that can be had ready-to-wear in this country. And they are priced as low as they can be with safety to the men who are going to wear them $30 to $75. Special models for youths, $28 to $40.
