I Everybody Goes To I
i The "Overcoat Fair"
The reason business is so good at Doutrichs is
because we have the merchandise and we're sure we have the kind of
merchandise YOU WANT, plenty of it, and that's saying a great deal these days, for
I . many stores find it hard to obtain desirable merchandise, due in most cases to their neglect
of placing early orders, and then again a great many merchants were "on the fence"
afraid to take a chance, thinking probably there would be favorable changes in the mar
kets, but alas—they were found wanting when the demand came upon them.
I We received a communication from one 1
of our largest and most reputable clothing manu
facturers to-day, in which they size up the wool situation as it pre
sents itself to-day After you read it, draw your own conclusions
as to whether YOU should buy YOUR Clothing NOW or wait for , 1
higher prices.
I Supplies of fabric for civilian use are, and will be inadequate; for sometime past no wool has been f
| allotted for civilian purposes, and only very gradually will this condition be changed and the neces- J
J sary labor be forthcoming to meet the demand? not only of this country, but of the entire world at large. #
J In all probability prices for the next season, the Fall and Winter of 1919 will be somewhat higher than J
I this Fall season. • - |
i Thisr friendly advice is given to you and your friends
so that you might be guided right regarding the clothing situation lf
< you take it kindly and are desirous of saving money, come here and take advantage of
the greater values made possible through our enormous purchasing power and tremen
dous output.
