You May Wonder Why We make so prominent a feature, in our advertising and talk so much about HART SCHAFFNER and MARX, and CLOTHCRAFT clothes for men; we’d like to tell you. It's because, after looking over the market thoroughly and having our pick of all the good lines, we believe these are the best clothes made. We have one desire in this business, to provide for our customers the kind of clothes that are really best for them : back of that, of course is the selfish desire for our own growth and profit but we’re smart enough to see that the best way to gain our own profit is to make sure that the merchandise gives you yours. These clothes will do it. Holthouse, Schulte and Co. Sellers of Good Clothes For Men and Boys
