The Correct Upstairs Idea Candidly we do not think that the Fahey-Brock- man plan of doing business can be easily copied. Take the Upstairs Idea, for instance! We pioneered that idea in this region—not for the sake of being different but for the purpose of saving money. Plainly, we couldn’t have saved a dollar by leasing costly street-level space—just to have a certain amount of comparatively inexpensive upstairs space thrown in— Nor could we have saved money by leasing the second or third floor of a thoroly modern office building. That would have been “a wonderful achievement” but we couldn’t manage it, with economy— Finally, we designed the Fahey-Brockman Building—had it built according to our plans and specifications and moved into the upper floors where we en Joy a modest rent and save money for our customers, Economically speaking, the Fahey-Brockman store at Third and Pike is the only Upstairs Cloth- ing Store in Seattle. It’s all upstairs, excepting the stairs, And it is up- stairs for money-saving reasons solely.

Today thousands of men and young men, thruout the Northwest, know it to be a money- saving reality. F-B Prices are always in the spotlight, wherever and whenever groups of well-groomed men discuss clothes. And far-sighted competitors honor us by endeavoring to adapt our But—that’s a different story!

Shrewd business and profes- sional men don’t discuss F-B Prices just for fun or because we say they’re startling. They discuss them with sheer delight because they know that these prices actually represent unmatchable values. While there are many money-saving angles to : the F-B plan of retailing, the controlling idea “How Little Can We Sell It For’ accounts for them all. That idea controls our buying—it controls our selling—it me controls our entire service. It has built up our almost unbelievable volume—won us tens of thousands of satisfied customers. It has also won us the wooing respect of every . %o « 7 Yo first-class manufacturer of men’s and young men’s clothes in America.
