Í We know that it is hard to break old ties —but after all there is no sentiment in dollars, and it's dollars you spend when you buy clothes, hats or furnishing goods. So, come here now, don’t let the time get farther off when you say “I wish I’d come to you before." For that is what you are going to say sooner or later. Safe to say, once you have been here and seen the values we offer in our Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothes—our Hats, our Furnishings— you will become a steady patron—as so many have before you.
