Do you know where the
buttons on your clothes
come from?
IT is an interesing little story; if
you are a wearer of Hart Schaffner
& Mnrx clothes, you will be doubly
interested.
The material for the best
buttons and that is the kind
Hart Schaffner & Marx use
grows on trees in tropical cli
mates. The growth is in the form
of a solid nut, which becomes
harder and harder as it ripens;
they finally drop to the ground
and are still further hardened
by exposure to the sun and
weather. They become so hard
that they are known as vege
table ivory, and for all practical
purposes are as hard as elephants'
tusks.
These nuts are then turned
into buttons. Hart Schaffner &
Marx use more of these vege
table ivory buttons than any
other concern in the country.

It has been said that the difference
between a rich man and a poor man
is a few cents: A rich m:in snends
a little less than he earns and a poor
man a little, more than he earns.
The poor man looks at the rich man
and throws discretion to the winds.

he says. And he cuts down on his
