A Big Clearances

| Overcoats and Suits Starts Here Saturday, Jan.

It isn’t so much
WHAT youspend
for Clothing as
what you GET
that counts. We
know of Men who
count it a person-
al triumph toboast
of always paying
top-notch prices,
but who never get
much for their
money after all,
not even the in-
dividualism they
covet. 9 Money
brings results on-
ly insofar as you
keep it in your
pocket until the
Clothing Man
hands overits 100
per cent. equiva-
lent.

Another thing:
The Store inwhich
you pin your faith
the year round,
the store you al-
ways find reliable,
the store that your
experience tells
you givesyou best
value for the price
it asks,is the Store
that’sSAFEwhen
it REDUCES.
8 This House has
grown phenomen-
ally with the years
because its policy
of “every ounce of
value” has never
wavered, but
grown stronger in
the pulling power
of VOLUME
prices.

This 1s our first Clearance
Sale in a number of years.
Clothing manufacturers sav we
are foolish to have one now. They
claim that Clothing CAN’T be low-
er in price next winter than 1S
now--perhaps it may be higher.
Furthermore, they say it will take in the
neighborhood of $300,000,000 worth of Cloth-
ing for the soldiers returning to civilian life
within the next year; that the Clothing
makers can’t produce that much ina year—let
alone the millions of dollars’ worth needed by
civilians at. home and the other millions we’ll
“have to furnish France and Belgium.
All well and good. But we have reasons we think JUST as
strong for going ahead:
Extension of the draft age, taking in men down to 18 years
and up to 45, kept many Men from buying in regular season.
The influenza epidemic during October kept hundreds of
others from buying.
The extremely mild weather of October, November and
December likewise had its effect—
And as a result we have a larger stock of Clothing on hand
just now than we should have, and would have had, if condi-
tions had approached normal.
We know Clothing for Spring is going to be higher than
the Clothing on our racks now. WHY? Because we (as well
as all merchants) contracted for it months ago. The Cloth is
already made up into garments, most of it, and will be ready to
ship in a couple of weeks. Nobody four or five morttsago
thought of an armistice in Nov ember!
Notwithstanding, we're going
ahead---going to give vou the op-
portunity to buy at a reduced price
this month the Suit or Overcoat you
didn’t buy earlier.
This applies to every Man’s and Young
Man’s Overcoat in the house and about 700
Men’s and Young Men’s Suits, taking in such
famous brands as Hart, Schaffner & Marx,
Fashion Park and Rochester Special.
In the same way we have reduced every
Boy’s Overcoat and Mackinaw and about 200
Juvenile and Knickerbocker Pant Suits.
We're not fond of losing money, but neith-
er are we fond of carrying along too heavy a
stock—so here’s the Reduction Schedule:
