Mrs, Penfield closed with what ehe called “a tragic and pathetic appeal for the negro vote for Votes for Women,” saying that it was but a just return for the work white women had done for the enslaved black race, in the days of the clvil war.

Mr. Nathan (Mrs. Maud Nathan's husband) put in $100, and his wife, on the platform, put Why Moe Levy MUST Give Greater Clothing Values Convenience is the great “come-on” that always makes you pay more. _ Transient locations are right along the “‘line of march”—that’s why you see most of the clothing stores there. These stores pay exorbitant rents for their locations and you pay for this convenience. In order to draw you to my Walker Street store I must pay you—I must make it worth while to you—I simply must give better values than any other clothier in town—and it is possible. Let me show you how. Firstly, because I save thousands of dollars a year between my present rent and the rent I would have to pay if my store was situated on Broadway. Then I manufacture all the clothes I sell and actually save youthe difference between the regular wholesaler’s profit and the retailer’s selling price. I don’t contend that the regular retailer makes exorbitant profits. He is comes to charge at least one-third more than I ask in order to cover the di erence between his purchase price and my manufacturing cost as well as his greater cost of doing business. When I explain to you that not over 20% of my trade live within a radius of one mile of my store, you'll understand that I have to draw them here by greater values than they could get from the more conveniently located clothier. If this was not a fact, my big store and great clothing business could not exist. Let me prove my claims. Go to any other store, look at the style gar- ment, the sort of fabric and the specitic price that you are willing to pay, then come here and I'll satisfy your ideas at a saving of at least 331-3%. $25 Service Guaranteed Suit or Overcoat at $15 This great value is the recognized clothing wonder of this generation, and I am prouder of it than a peacock of its tail. It is a good example of my great value giving ability all through the line, from $10 to $35. Every one of these garments does justice to a $25 price, and they would bear $25 price- tags if sold by the regular retailer. It is because of my manufacturing, the low rental and selling advantages over the regular retailer that I can afford to sell these clothes at $15. The quality I guarantee—the style will talk for itself—you can have the swagger English effects or the smart, good old Uncle Sam styles—the rich, fuzzy and smooth cloth ideas in walnut brown, blue-green mixtures and other smart colors so popular now. In fact, I will completely satisfy your idea of a §25 suit for $15. Some Overcoats! One of the biggest up-State clothing manufacturers, who happened in my store out of curiosity last week, said: “Moe, I visited every clothing house in Rochester, Cleveland, Chicago, and all the principal cities of the East, and nowhere have I seen as fine a line of overcoats as yours.” There is nothing that I can add to this praise except an invitation to come and see for yourself. No matter whether you intend to spend $10 or go as high as $40 I will surprise you in style and overcoat value. No matter whether you want one of those rich, smart Raglans, a big, heavy, warm double-breasted ulster, or a smart genteel overcoat, I have got just the garment you want for at least one-third less than you’d expeet to pay. $15 Boys’ Suits at $8.95 Here is another chance for the mother who wants the unusual in a boy’s suit. These garments are made up of ends too small to go in my regular $25 line, so 1 have made them in a mannish way for the little fellows—sizes 8 to 18. They are $15 values, but I have priced them $8.95. All my Boys’ Suits at $2.95, $8.95, $4.95, $5.95, $6.95 are at Ieast one-third lower priced and better made than. anywhere else, Moe Levy Open Evenings Until 9, Saturdays Till 11 o’Clock. 119-125 Walker Street, New York °{70n¥ 2 Bloeke Kant of Breadway and One Bleck East from Canal St. Subway Station.
