That phrase in this store
means something.
It means that you will be shown what you
ask for. Anything less than satisfying you
completely in fabric, fit and price will make
the bargain incomplete.
And that phrase means, too, that the clothes
we sell
SINCERITY CLOTHES
will be at your service for many, many
months after you buy them. They're the
best that we can buy, made so worthily that
they'll give you longer service than you ask
for.
