We refuse to add to our prices those rather mysterious “overhead expenses” so long a part of old- fashioned charge account and credit methods. Our cash prices of yesterday are our Ten Payment prices of today! And the economy of cash prices certainly needs no introduction to thrifty men.

The added business of 150,000 men has worked like a charm! It has put finer woolens into Bond Clothes. It has brought over the master fashions of London’s most distinguished tailors. It makes possible the luxury of faultless hand needlework. Naturally, we are eager for you to enjoy all these advantages of BondTen Payment Budget Service.
