Do you know that if the war lasts another year you will not likely be able to buy good-qual- ity clothes at any price? If you are not familiar with the situation, step into this Upstairs Clothes Shop, or, for that matter, any other big clothing store and ask the buyer of the firm about it: He can show you how the matter stands, for he has dozens of letters on file from the big jobbers and mills advising him of their inabil- ity to supply’ his demands. It makes no difference what store you go to, they, will all tell you the same story. In view of this critical situation you should buy only clothes that you need—you should select clothing you know will wear—and above all else you should see that for every dollar you spend that you get a full dollar’s worth in return. In Maintaining a Policy of Value With Quality It Has Been the Endeavor of This Institution to Select only Such Mate- rials as Will Give the Maximum of Service for tle Minimum of Price. Again We Say, Conserve Your Clothing Buy What You Need But Only What You Need If You Must Buy Clothes—Buy Them Upstairs and Save Money.
