We meet the conditions by making real price cuts, real sacrifices, not. reductions affect- ing part of the profits, but all the profits and some of the cost, too, in many cases, Price-cutting is not done here in a half- hearted way.

You cannot begin to realize what a great opportunity this is for you, what saving advantages it affords and } what great varieties of high-grade apparel you canchoose from, unless you pay our department a visit; and the more skeptical you may be about the greatness of the values we offer, the more anxious we aré to have you come in order that we may convince you: Men’s $15.00 and $16.50 Suits reduced to $9.45 Men’s $17.50 and $20.00 Suits reduced to $12.45 Men’s $22.50 and $25.00 Suits r | Men's $27.50 and $30.00 Suits reduced to $18.45 Men’s $35.00 and $40.00 Suits reduced to $21.45 a uced to $15.45 “ x aR : a ; pes?
