Beginning To Te
A Sale of Men's
Winter Overcoats
That Convincingly Demonstrates
., the Matchless Value-Giving
r Possibilities of Philadelphia's
Greatest Clothing Stere for Men
Away back months age, long before there was any thought of
winter's freezing weather Philadelphia's greatest Men's Clothing Stere
was already planning an Overcoat event that would outdo any previous
value-giving achievement.
Orders were placed with leading American and English manufac
turers long in advance of the usual buying season thereby enabling the
factories te keep their working forces busy during what would otherwise
be the dull season. Manufacturers were glad, for this reason, te sacrifice
most of their profit. Prices of fabrics, tee, were much lower than later.
We could net secure the same Overcoats, during the usual
buying season, at anywhere near the low prices we paid that is
why you can buy some of the Overcoats in this Sale for approxi
mately te-day's wholesale prices.
Te-morrow, the Sale of these Overcoats begins, and you may profit
by this merchandising achievement! Yeu can cheese from mere than 20
distinctly different styles and scores of handsome fabrics. Five price
groups and every Overcoat in every group presenting a value at the Sale
price, that no man in justice te his sense of investment can afford te pass by.
Every man in Philadelphia who intends te buy a new Overcoat this
winter should make it a point te at least see these:
