A Statement
To Men of Military Age
Under the Conscription Bill, men of ages 21 to 35 in
clusive are subject to military service. While all will not
be affected it has undoubtedly made some of you hesi
tant about your Fall clothing purchases. McDaniel's,
therefore, meets the present situation with a new policy,
designed to eliminate any undue financial burden on
those who may be drawn into military service:
A Defense Co-operation Money-Back Certificate will be
issued to all men of military age on purchase of Suits, Top
coats and Overcoats, for personal use, up to and including
November Ist, 1940. In the event you are conscripted and
actually enter into service on or before December 31st, 1940,
this certificate, with your notice of call, will entitle you to .
privilege of returning your purchase for full regard
less of wear.
Our first consideration in this move has been for you
I•j j *
young men between 21 and 35 who are subject to con
scription. Elkin's most popular department store is
proud to be first with this timely offer and service. You
may come to McDaniel's and buy your Fall Suits, Top
coats, and Overcoats with the utmost confidence that
you will not incur a needless expenditure.
