And mark this! We’re selling these wonderful — | garments at the same standard prices—carrying the same saving of $10 at least—backed by the same binding guarantee and followed with the same personal service that has made this the greatest clothing organization for men and young men in the Northwest. N Seasonal Price-Boosting There’s never any seasonal “mark-up” or price-boost- ing at Fahey-Brockman’s. Having no “sales” we do not have to secure the necessary funds for “mark-downs” later on. It may be according to Hoyle to penalize early buyers for the purpose of be- fuddling tardy customers, but that has no place in honest merchan- dising as we see it. We believe in daylight methods in the c:othing business, instead of hocus-pocus and seasonal nonsense. Our proposition is the same now as it will be in January or any other month of the febae Our business is to sell $35, $40 and $45 garments at $25, $30 and $35—to insure a $10 saving at least to every customer. That’s the big point. And to safeguard you we guarantee it absolutely. ji a Ideal Prices for the heii Man Gabardines ; That statement is worth thinking about. To begin with—if Fahey- 3 and enjoy the rainy } 3 weather. : Cashmeres Brockman prices didn’t encompass the clothing wants of the average man we 2 5 i would have to change them. e don’t change them because they a H ee exactly what 60,000 average men prefer to pay for their clothes. And when : De #4 Se iley! H 60,000 average men prefer certain prices you may be sure that a million average Fee ees ietcsinlt men prefer the same prices. That’s why we’re sure that Fahey-Brockman prices are bound to suit you exactly. Observe that Fahey-Brockman $25 clothes are guaranteed $35 values— F-B $30 clothes guaranteed $40 values—F-B $35 clothes guaranteed $45 values. How do we accomplish that? First, we buy for less than the average clothier. Second, it costs us very much less to do business. Third, our profit is the lowest known to the clothing world, In other words, great buying power, tremendous volume and quick turnover place us in an unique position, and we’re long-headed enough to pass the savings we ef- fect on to our customers. That’s why they talk so much about us—precisely why they a round up their friends and send them in to trade with us. It pays them to do so. et How Little Can We Sell It For? Fahey-Brockman have never “marked up” a garment—never juggled a price. On the contrary, we have built this business from very small beginnings up to the pee retail clothing house in the Northwest by maintaining low prices the whole year round. “How Little Can We Sell the Garments For?” That’s the controlling question in our system of mer- Shading. And it works out to the advantage of all customers—buy when they may.
