Lots of Men,
in Buying
Clothes are,
not half particular enough
about quality; they'll buy al
most anything that looks stylish
and fits if the price is low.
It's the wrong way to buy
clothes. We hope you don't buy
yours that way. The right way
is to be sure first of the quality
you are getting. Is it all wool?
Is it well tailored? A price
means nothing unless you know
what you are getting for it.
In this store we want you to
know what you are getting for
jrour money; we're not afraid to
tell you, either. Ask if the goods
are all wool; ask if they are
tailored right; ask about
style; wear; try the clothes on.
But if you see the Hart,
Shaffner & Marx label in the
clothes, just consider it an an
swer to your question; all wool;
clean, honest tailoring; correct
style; wear; price will be right.
f" Pay $3.50 or $4.00 for
when you can buy a "Oor-
$-00.

the price of common stock of the American Tobacco Company

was 375, and the high price last week 390, Today it sold
down to 343.

last week declaring the company a trust, which flooded tho mar
ket wtih selling orders.
The majority of the leading active stocks sold at 1 ya below
Saturday's prices during the first hour today. A vigorous rally
in the second hour established handsome not gains for those
