Who Said ‘Hard Times?” Q—— We won’'tany more, because our “eut price cash” sale has been such a suecess since we beean it two weeks ago that we begin to think all this talk about “Hard Times” the veriest nonsense. In those two weeks we increased our July sales within $200 of our biggest year—and August. Only make the price low enough and there will always be plenty of money to buy it. That just what we are doing. The price of those $15 and $18 suits we’re selling at $9.95 is so low that no one who needs a suit and can possibly get the money ean re- sist the temptation to buy. For that figure (689,95) we give you choice of any summer suit in our store no mat- ter what the former price—and_ all cheaper suits in proportion. The boys will be soon gomg to school and new suits will come handy.
