r I iHERE is some justification for the protest against high clotli
JL ing prices but the remedy is a simple one. If the men folks
exercise the same discriminating shopping ability that most .
women do, and compare fabrics and values, they will find many
legitimate Clothiers who have not taken advantage of conditions
and wlio continue to deliver an honest dollar's worth for your dollar.
The present agitation has already brought about some good results in that it
has been the means of causing some merchants to offer their stocks at "re
duced" prices.
Let us cite you a specific instance of one of these "reductions." In a show win
dow of a prominent Clothier we saw a particular pattern in a suit attached to
which was a card reading:
$65, $70 and $75 $EP7.50
Suits and Topcoats 0
We recognized the pattern as one that we offer at our regular $50 price. How
ever! in order that there be no possible doubt about it, we bought that suit and
paid $57.50. It is made of the same identical cloth, made by the same mill, as
the suit you can buy at our shop for $50. There's a minor difference in the
trimming of the suit but there's a wonderful difference in the "reduced" price
of $57.50 and our regular price of $50.
The best-known story of J. D. Rockefeller is that he at one time walked three
blocks out of his way to save 5 cents on a tack hammer. You don't have to
go one step out of your way to save money on your clothes. "Politz" Policy
one low price the year round no sales at any time saves you time and money
at all periods.
There are other first-class, high-caliber, legitimate merchants doing business in
Portland who don't excessively "mark up" their prices or offer "reductions"
that are not reductions in any sense of that much-abused word.
