We are selling out the biggest and best -lot we have ever handled in the thirty-four years that we have been in business and we give yon the following to think over:- It is not good sense to buy a poor suit because it is cheap. Nor is it good sense to conclude that every low-priced suit must be poor. Our first care has always been to find clothing which we could guarantee to give satisfaction to pur­ chasers. After we have found clothing of that sort, we buy it--just as cheap as we can. Men's Suits, in latesstyles, we offer at $3.95, $6.00 and $6.50 and we re­ fund your money if clothes go wrong. Men'8 Odd Pants, advertised this week for the first time, we sell at $.79, $1.29 and $1.75;--a large shipment just receiv­ ed. Youths' Suitft, ages 15 to 19, are $4.45 $4.95 and $6.45 and giye universal satis- fac tion. Boys' Suits, two-piece or three- piece, are $1.98, $2.69 and $8.49. Men's Silk are Vests 75 and 98 cents. Such an op. portunity ought not to be neglected, par­ ticularly when you consider that your railroad fare is free--for if you trade $10.00 and show round trip ticket, we refund it. C F.
