Will Go and Find It] Our Hat's in the Ring—It’s ~’ Nowa Fight to a Finish Self-Preservation, Plus an Ambition to Really Serve the Public, Leaves No Other Alternative The virile blood of any good American citizen, we believe, would not permit of any other decision vee have made—namely, to appeal direct to the public. And this we say not in a spirit of defiance nor an ambition to fight for the mere joy of fighting, but as a matter of’ principle and the plain right to exist. There is no other alternative. Either we must sell our men's clothing direct to you: 2s an individual or close down our factories, discharge our help and go out of business. And this is happening in the enlightened age of the twentieth century —not in Russia, but right here in New York—the metropolis of America! Cancellations and threats to boycott us into submission or extinction form the very emphatic mandate that has been handed us. It's true we do not charge nor believe the entire retail clothing store trade encourages this un-American form of boycott, but the cancellations we have already re- ceived, the threats that have already been made, coupled with the efforts even put. forth to stop us from advertising in the newspapers, are plain enough intimations of what we are to expect if we attempt to continue as wholesalers to the clothing store trade, as heretofore. All because, forsooth, we violated certain ethics of the trade that holds that no clothing manu- facturer may sell direct to individuals, ethics which we all believe in and applaud in normal times, but violation, even so innocently, as in our case, under the conditions that are prevailing, no truly fair | spirited merchant can condemn, we believe. We were confronted, like many other high class clothing ‘manufacturers, with unusual and serious circumstances, brought about by the refusal of the public to buy of the retail clothing merchants, who, in turn, did not buy of us and most other manufac- turers. Our stockrooms in consequence remained jammed with thousands of fife suits and overcoats | with no other apparent market in sight. The out- lack was black very, etiolisy with no apparent. so- lution but to offer our stocks direct to the public at exactly the same prices we charged our -retail trade. This, in sheer desperation, we finally decided to do. The response of the public was instanta- neous and their buying commensurate with their elation over the values we offered, in every sense highly extraordinary, not only in price, but in char- acter, style, fit and finish, comparable only to real custom work and made of 100 per cent. wool Atop of this real service to the public came the aforesaid challenge to stop selling at retail, and atop of that challenge we now make answer that we wil continue serving the public direct. We may be wrong, but we feel that once the public is thor- oughly enlightened as to the facts in controversies of this character, and, moreover, are concerned as deeply as we have hinted, in a financial sense, at least, ustice will be done. Therefore we will continue selling to the public direct, which means that you can walk into our factory showrooms at 810 Broadway, opposite |Ith Street, and select a suit or overcoat which we promise you will prove the most astounding bar- gains you have yet seen--50% to 75% below retail prices—cut on advance patterns, 100 per cent. pure wool, with finest of linings and trimmings and the best of workmanship. The woolens we use, indeed, are the finest. / sk any expert about the Thomas H. W'lson, French Rivers, Dun’s, Etna and Wauskuck woolen mills, and you will appreciate the character of materials we are using —absolutely the finest in America. And our prices for both ‘suits and overcoats are not $40, $50, $60 and $70—but $20, $25, $30 and $35--not a cent higher. Also we ask no charge for alterations, But we do not want you to take anything for granted. We want you to come, see and investigate for yourself. We want you to demand corrobora- tion of every statement made here. Look over our books, see the cancelled contracts. that our former retail store trade have sent us, which prove in black afd white that you can now buy fine men’s clothing actually at lower prices than paid us by the retailers, If you believe in fair play and a real reduction in clothing prices, we ask your co-operation, guar- anteeing the above absolutely authentic, and, fur- ther, to return your money instantly and without a word if you can duplicate our values anywhere, or if you feel dissatisfied in any respect.
