If You Knew
ALL THAT
We Know
About the way Hart Schaffner & Marx
clothes are made, we wouldn't sell you
any other clothes; nobody could; you
wouldn't have anything else.
e
Every time you see the name of Hart
Schaffner & Marx in a garment, you
know that it's all wool; that the style is
correct; that the tailoring is as good as
it can be. You know that everything
about the clothes is guaranteed to be
rurht; and that means that you shall
think it right; your satisfaction guar
anteed, not ours or somebody else's.
We'd like to get you into Hart Schaffner
& Marx clothes this spring; it will be as
good a thing for you as for us.
