Haft Scliafjfner & Marx clothes
are fhc kind you want for fall
YOU'LL .-.be impressed with the difference in appearance between
men who wear Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes and the other men
you see on the street.
There's a style about them which is distinctive; not because of
extreme or freakish ideas, but because of a dignity which marks the
wearer. There's a fit and finish in them which adds to this impression:
and a quality of materials which tells its own story of your good judg
ment as a buyer of clothes.
For young men
Varsity Fifty Five suits
Varisty Six Hundred Overcoats
and for older men the best ideas in these very stylish models, adapted
to age, figure, and the dignity of business standing.
We can fit any figure and the prices, $20,
$22.50, $25, $27.50, are low for such goods

A program was marked out and has
been completed, in large measure, by
the enactment of singularly carefully
framed legislation. The national
banking law was so amended as to
permit banks to lend money within
safe limits on farm mortgages and to
recognize the peculiar needs of the
farmer by giving his paper a maturity
period of six month. The Federal
Rural Eco- farm-loan act was passed, creating a
. banking system to reach intimately
