CLOTHIER fHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. I til “Up fltainsl 0’ And I make bold to toll you about it here— not that you haven’t troubles enough of your own, or that I expect the good people of Augusta to start a relief fund for me, but if I can get you to fully understand and appreciate the situation, I can show where you may profit well by my misfortune and in so doing, save me from fur ther loss: Several months before the disastrous strug gle in Europe, I repaired to Eastern markets, bent upon securing the highest grade and quali ty of men’s clothing that could be had to sell on my two price plan of $lO and sls. I interviewed the leading clothing manufacturers of this coun try to whom I explained my purpose of selling the best SIO.OO and $15.00 clothes in this country for the money on the closest profit margin, de pending on volume of sales to make' good. I met with such hearty co-operation from manufactur ers that I then and there bought a stock of suits and overcoats fully doubly as large as I had ever had before. Hut who would not? The clothing that I bought and now have in stock is actually being sold by these manufacturers today in wholesale lots at more than my price to you of SIO.OO and $15.00, and merchants elsewhere are asking from $20.00 to SIO.OO for these self same garments. But now, with double my usual stock, paying a higher rent than heretofore and a heavy fixed expense for clerks, lights, et., Business Is Way Off What’s the Answer? The only one I can see is I must unload as best I can, and take such loss as is necessary, but my clothing must go, and I am going to offer them at exactly cost price to me, viz: Any SIO.OO Suit or Overcoat in my house for which others are asking $15.00 to OO ftr $20.00 Any $15.00 Suit or Overcoat in my house and for which others are asking $20.00 to 7C $40.00 SILVER 1028 BROAD ST.
