Reduced
In these five words we epitomize the greatest dis
persal of fine clothing that has happened in many a day.
A rather peremptory way of stating such an important
case and yet it tells it all. For our stocks of men's cloth
ing are unquestionably the largest and finest in these
parts and our prices the lowest. And every suit in these
stocks is now offered at a substantially reduced price.
We quote for purposes of comparison the prices at
which the garments were marked in our own stocks
prices that were already lower than manufacturers'
prices to us warranted. Based on present manufac
turers' prices, we are selling the suits
at About Today's
Wholesale Cost
As we said" before, prices on men's clothing do not show the
slightest disposition to come down, but rather strongly .maintain
the upward tendency. Wherefore, we are doing an unconven
tional thing in reducing these prices for which some of our fellow
merchants are at a loss to account. But we serve the public in
this sale and we are out to duplicate the whirlwind success of the
west's greatest sale of men's shirts which has proved and is prov
ing to be the greatest in our history.
