Some of the reasons respo profitable have grown accustomed to ldok- opportunity for © . nsible for this radical depart- ure from a custom of several years’ standing are— First: That the stocks in our seven stores, as a result of the unusual demand this past season for high grade clothing of the Reupcahamer type, are just large enough to enable us’ to fe) fer Brill customers that wide selection for which Brill stores are noted, but not large enough to ee. the losses from price reductions which a sale entail. “ would Second: Because the general shortage of clothing and of woolens is becoming more acute every day. And Third: Because rang fabrics already indicate suc costs of production and of advarices in the wholesale cost of clothing, that next Spring and Summer Suits such as we are now selling at $30.00 will cost at least $45.00 Suits such as we are now selling at $35.00 will cost at least $50.00 Suits such as we are now selling at $40.00 will cost at least $55.00 Suits such as we are now selling at $50.00 will cost at least $65.00 Suits such as we are now selling at $65.00 will cost at least $80.00 So, while there will be no Brill Sale this season, it is highly advisable for you to buy now, without a sale.
