Dear 8ir& -
Civilian men's clothing is
not rationed yet and may
not be for some time to
come. My advice to you is,
don't buy any new wool
clothing unless it is abso
lutely necessary.
Buy U. S. War Bonds in
stead. It's the best safest
investment in the world and
will pay more in many ways
than just cash dividends.
Buy all you can! Help bring
this war to a victorious and
speedy end for bur allied
nations, and bring our men
and boys back home to a
normal, peaceful, free and
happy life.
If you must have new
clothes, you will be well
Said to walk upstairs to
oe's Clothes Shop, where
low rent and minor over
bead costs enable me to save
you $5 to $10 on super-fine
quality 100 Wool Suits
and Topcoats. In a large se
lection of patterns, colors
