+=: GIGANTIC CLOTHING PURCHASES AT 40 PER CENT BELOW THE COST OF PRODUCTION =: ~ The Greatest of all Clothing: Sales) Se a a a ¢ ITS THE UNEXPECTED *. - ss 3 MU ST BE TURNED . j A week ago we hadn't the slightest intention of buying such a big stock of clothing, didn’t want any more, had enough for th season. Our buyer declined all offers from the manufacturers, but when they urged him to make them an offer, he did so, offer them an average of 40 per cent less than the cost of manufacture. Much to his surprise his offer was accepted and a large part of th : stock arrived. The result of this unexpected but certainly most fortunate purchase can best be told by the following prices, show4 ing the cost of manufacturer, wholesale price, regular retail price and our own price. ; ) Cost of production $4 : oO 3 ) Cost of production 4 ~ Wholesale price 5 50% st ‘ IT - Wholesale price 4 ) Retail price 7 50) Puce a 0 0 A ; ) Retail price 1 10) price Cost of production $6 35 ) Cost of production $1 60) MENS SUITS l Wholesale price 7 75> Our $5 00 BOYS SUITS >» Wholesale price 1 90» eon $l 95 .
