Hwift. Cudahy and other big packing Interests. m The Hart, Schaffner and Marx Quality Every man who ever wore one of these famous Hart, Schnffner & Marx suits is like ourselves—never tired of prai'ing their quality. We've tried to do our duty to the people of Eugene and Lane county by cultivating the habit of buying good clothes, even if they are a little higher than the ordinary kind—they are cheaper in the end because they wear longer and look better. If a lot of you men who are in the habit of paying $15 to $18 for your clothes, will just dig up a little more and pay $20 to $25 for your suits, you'll find it a matter of great economy. All of the new Spring Suits are here ready and we would like to get you into one of them. You'll find them all wool, finely tailored, correct style, and the fit will be perfect. If you want further proof buy a suit next time, wear it, and you will be one of the many well-dressed men seen on our streets.
