times Cosily broken.
Tfie newspaper advertisements
teem with promises that any intelli
gent man ought to know must be
broken. No man is so great a philan
thropist that he is doing business for
the benefit of'the human race. We
are all m business to make money, and
therefore we tell you in advance that
we shall make a fair profit on most of
the desirable merchandise that we sell.
The exceptions occur' now and then
when we are overstocked in some par
ticular lme, or are clearing out some
broken sizes; in which case it is usual
ly regarded as goad business to sell at reduced profits and
sometimes at a loss for the time being - . We have gone into
this much detail in order to convince you that when the sea
son Is at full tide, wherever you buy your clothes, you have
to pay the sellers a profit.
Now we recommend these famous FECHHEIMER
FISHEL make of Clothes, not because our profit is largi
on that make, but because WE CAN BEST SATISFY
OUR CUSTOMERS WITH THAT SORT.
Our experience has proven that these clothes are
near perfection as any ready to wear or nia de to measure
clothes possibly can be. And, though they cost a little
more than other kinds, they are really the cheapest kind i:
the end. We guarantee them by saying “money back
not satisfactory.” Just about half what merchant tailors
charge.
Suits $7.50 to $20.00.
