Why Reduced Prices On
Clothes When W oolens .
Are on the Rise?
Here’s the story in a “nut shell’.
»
You’ve probably heard that woolen prices are
advancing, so you naturally ask, “If that’s so, how
can Hart Schaffner & Marx all -wool clothes be sold
for less than regular prices?”
Each year at the end of the regular selling sea
sons we find a number of garments still on hand;
they were bought to sell during that season, so we
make it a point of selling them in order to make
room for new goods. And we - reduce prices to
clear these suits in a hurry.
Because woolens are advancing so rapidly,
these Hart Schaffner & Marx suits are wonh more
now than they were a few months ago; they’ll be
worth more next year. But we can’t hold them
over; we haven’t the room.
That’s the whole story and here are the prices.
S4O Suits $30.00 $35 Suits $26.25
S3O Suits $22.50 S2O Suits $15.00

In the face of the fact that prices on
Men’s Clothing for next Fall and Win
ter will be almost double of the pres
ent prices it looks FOOLHARDY and
UNBUSINESSLIKE to make reduc
tions on present prices of men’s clothes
but there are are times when condi
tions, over which we have no control,
arise, therefore for a few days we offer
the following reductions on Adler-
Rochester and Scloss Bros. Clothing.
$35 Suits and Overcoats now $26.25
S3O Suits and Overcoats now $22.50
