THE BIG SALE IS ON

We .never heard of such values before, and if we never have,
being in the business, it is sure that you never have. As a
' matter of fact, we never dared to offer so fine a lot of suit
; ings before at such ridiculous prices. It is unreasonable,
unbusinesslike and impossible to quote suth prices ordinar
ily, BUT WE MUST SELL THEM, AND THAT MAKES J
, ALL. THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. You can
measure, for: about TWO THIRDS ITS REG. VALUE.

larger and better Jbuslness
than ever before. Something
