In stating facts each store has something to talk about peculiar to itself. Her in rests our forte. Certain facts concerning our business make our arguments strong. We sell more clothing than any other store west of Chicago. We carry in stock more clothes than any three local stores combined. We hava three times more salesmen in our men’s clothing department than are similarly employed in any other store. Now these are facts which you can verify. Could we have grown to this extsnt if we did not give entire satisfaction in our clothes? Would we carry such a large stock if our ever-increasing trade did not demand it? Would we employ so many salesmen as compared with other stores if we did not require them? We are doing the clothing business of San Francisco, and there is good reason for it. Our customers get their money’s worth. Summer sack suits, medium and light weight, bright summery patterns; coats made with concave shoulders, elongated lapels, close fitting neck and narrow collar; hand tailored garments; the same quality sells in other stores for $12.50; our price is $8.50.
