THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1896-24 PAGES. Great Suit Sale. : aa 3 eae Practically we maintain two (2) tailoring departments. First and foremost, the year in and year out, regular stock of all the finer, well-tried qualities of woolens, from the different best makers, so that people can always get the most depend- able goods in the market. : hese goods we seldom advertise. People know:them and depend on us for them. Second, And incidental to the other, special lots that we buy whenever they are good enough, just because somebody wants to real- ize money and use our outlet to do it. Mind you, we would not permit anything to come to our tables that would destroy the confidence people put in us to secure them good articles. Our prices for such lots so often advertised must never be taken as guides to values. Of course such lots are turned over quickly at small profits to have room for other lots always com- ing our way. We repeat again, our low prices must not be thought of as the true value. This week we had a sale of great magnitude. We feel that many were unable to take advantage of this sale. Yes- terday our buyer secured an entire new line of choice suitings, which we shall place on sale Monday morning. These goods have never before been shown. Our public gets the first pick ofthem. Remember, other tailors ask $25 for these suitings. Mertz and Mertz, New “Era” Tailors, 906 F Street.
