You Needn't Be a Millionaire Dress ing well doesn't

necessarily implyvspending more than you can afford.

Of course you can pay a lot for clothes if you want to, but why pay for more value than voujactually get?

We've always macle it a point to put in the things that are'highest in quality and most reasonable in price.

In men's clothes, for example. What better can be had'than Cloth-craft at $10 to $20 and Hart Schaff-ner & Marx $20 to*$3o

It's the same all the way down the line. Shirts, hats, socks, collars, underwear—every thing you s

bu)' here is bound to please because ynu feel that it is worth every cent you pay for it.

;Dur new Spring styles are await-ing vour approval.
