He believes in the good old slogan, “Live and Let Live.” . BUT—time has come when a dollar is a dollar, and what is more—a penny is a cent, and five of them make a nickel. And this store positively saves nick- els, dimes, halves and dollars for all who come. How Schermer does this is not important. It is the fact that he DOES DO IT that is worth something to you. If you have an idea in the back of your head that this is just another of those ads that must be read and digested with a grain of salt, just sit up and take him at his word, for he says—Make Me Prove It! When you have to pay two-bits for three pounds of spuds and 15 cents for 22 ounces of bread, and eight dollars for $3.50 shoes, it’s time to look around and see where you can shave a little something off the high cost of living. Schermer’s store is Ten Steps from Yesler—not the handiest place, perhaps, for rou ae says when you come here YOU SAVE—and that’s certainly worth coming for. I Sell the BEST 515 This is the season for light weights, and you'll find them here in large assortment of the very best styles and makes. If you cling to the heavier weights, there is no store in Seattle where equal values are awaiting you. All sizes and shapes of men can be fitted in regu- lar and box-back styles. At the same low price you have choice of splendid gray Clay worsteds and beau- tiful gray pin-head and bird's-eye worsteds. Have a look and compare with anything else offered.
