We think more of you

There’s lots more money in sell*

than selling good clothes at fair
prices.
H^tLS^TERN A case in point; instead of sell*
eJarrt Cjiothci ing Michaels-Stern suits at $30.
4—^ to $40. we could skip to New
York or Baltimore for a few
days and bring back suits that
would net $5. more profit for
us—and about $12 less in value
for you.
The point is—we like you more
than we like your money—and
we think as much of our reputa¬

it.
