They natural- ly expected a wonderful and varied array of authentic spring models—they knew the fabrics would be select and the last word in design—they realized that the workmanship would be a revelation of American Tailor- ing at its best: The Fahey-Brockman Label guaranteed all that—But they did not think that even the great F-B Service could best its record for supreme values on a rising market— Yet that’s precisely what we’ve done. No Mark-up Get this clear and plain! Good domestic and imported woolens have advanced sharply. The cost of production has increased. In spite of that, Fahey-Brockman Values are greater than ever before, and— Fahey-Brockman Prices remain the same. These are the astounding facts about our wonderful Spring Display for men and young men. Those acquainted with the clothing marts know these facts. More than that, they now know precisely how we con- trived to save our customers money—pre- cisely how we did it. You are entitled to know the same thing. F-B Prices are never juggled—never varied — never averaged. They always stand for a $10 saving at least. F-B CLOTHES Greater Values Than Average $35 Values F-B CLOTHES Greater Values Than Average F-B CLOTHES Greater Values Than Average $45 Values Here’s the inside story. The Clothiers of the Pacific Coast know that T. P. Fahey is a master buyer. With the resources of this organization behind him he can at any time or season deliver the merchandise in our stores for less money. Our swift turn- over gives him a big advantage to begin with! | But—when we pool our buying wi the greatest retailers of men’s clothes in America then our advantage over local com- petition becomes tremendous. Quick Turnover Thatis not all. Fast Turnover means economic merchandis- ing. A wave of popular approval has swept the Fahey-Brockman business forward until today it is the dominat- ing factor in the retailing of clothes for the men and young men of the North- west. Only a few years ago we started to smash high prices. And now an enthusiastic army of well groomed men is marching with us to victory after victory. Yes, we are proud of our great Spring Display. The styles are authentic—rest assured of that. We are now offering the cream of this year’s production of the lead- ing master tailors of the country. Here you can own the suit or overcoat you want at a saving of $10: Not an old-fashioned, marked- down garment, but the latest etvle, direct from New York—the center of myn’s fash- ions for the world. N.B—You can buy early here with the utmost confidence. We never place a super tax on the early customer for the pur pose of wheedling the late buyer with a “Mark-down.” We desire the co-operation of all men and we treat all alike. Fahey-Brockman Bldg.
