The "Ovm
Is making a great many warm friends for Doutrichs.
The weather seems just right to have men appreciate a good "Overcoat" the
kind we are selling for such very reasonable prices at the "Overcoat-Fair." It's no wonder
November has been a busy month, the busiest month of the year, for the Overcoats we are
offering the public cost from $5 to S2O mo *e today than what we paid for them when we con
tracted for these huge quantities months ago in anticipation of this much talked of "Overcoat-
Fair."
You'll walk miles without finding the equal of the good quality
of Fall clothes we are selling. The alarming thing about the clothing situation is that good
clothes are mighty scarce and we urge you not to wait too long to decide whether you are "going to buy"
for if you wait until the last minute you are not going to get the kind you want, for in some stores there's a very
limited supply.
We however have a very liberal quantity at the lowest
prices you can find anywhere. You'll be glad that we plunged and bought heav
ily when they were obtainable from the manufacturers when you look at the exceptional values
in our big assortments.
