If any subscriber who is 'dis
satisfied with the amount of ad
vertising carried in these col
umns, can suggest a way that we
can make a living without it,
we are more than willing to hear
him. Our subscription list is fine
but, alone, it does not pay the ex
penses of publication. Blank pa
per, delivered, is now costing us
15c. pe- lb., against 3c. only a
few years ago, and still we are
sending it out at the same price,
$1 per year. Please bear with us,
as with better equipment and
more space, we hope to relieve
the congested condition of our
columns in the not very distant
future.

Beginning today we are revising our prices on every suit and over
coat in the house.
This is not a "special sale" but a sincere effort to co-operate in lower
ing livin Costs in these unusual times.
At the beginning of this season we marked our clothes aa closer mar
gin than ever attempted before, but commodity prices have declined
and people expact lower prices and rightly so.
To meet the conditions we are revising the price on every suit and
overcoat in the house and arranging them in price groups as follows:
$25.00, $34.60 139,59, $49,50, $57,50, $84.50
These suits were originally priced $35.00 to $80.00 and at the new fig
ures represent a substantial loss to us.
Fine all wool clothes such as Hart Schaffner & Marx at these prices
oficr an exceptional opportunity for saving money. ,
All Boys Suits are arranged in price groups as follows:
$9.75, $12.75, 14.75, $17.50 and
$23.50
We honestly believe these prices are lower than these clothes will sell '
for six mouths from now. . '

Come early and choose yours while choosing is at its best. Mail Or-.
