The Fall Dress Up is here
CAME IN WITH A RUSH THIS MORNING
AND here is what it means to you men of the Rogue River Valley
you're all on the reception committee, everyone of you
It's a special time that is set aside when all of you buy new clothes;
have everything fresh, smart, snappy looking.
It makes you feel the way you look more efficient; ready to "mix
things" with business; it helps to restore the energy that has been sapped
by a long, hot summer.
It's a great thing even if it only lasts officially two weeks: it shows
men how much clothes have to do with success the effect of such a
campaign lasts months. This we know:
If you dress up in
Hart Schaffner & Marx
fine clothes suit or overcoat
you can easily have that "dressed-up" feeling all fall and
winter, they are clothes that are made for that; they keep
stylish looking.
