Buy all-wool clothes Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes are ! absolutely guaranteed to satisfy you At a time when every dollar you spend ought to be looked at twice before you part with it, just remember that you ought to look more than twice at what you’re going to get for it. Hart, Schaffner & Marx have based their whole business on i the belief that all-wool is best for men’s and young men’s clothing; that cotton mixtures, though somewhat cheaper, are not economy. L § ft They have maintained a strict all-wool standard in spite of steadily rising costs of fine wool, in the face of the clamor for 1 cheaper clothes. We know that the men and young men of America share this belief that all-wool is best; is real economy. 1 Good clothes, like everything else, cost more than they forr merly cost, but if all-wool is besUand cheapest in the long run, you ought to have it. It means more style, more service, more satisfaction. It’s worth the price. i In spite of the war the weavers of England, Scotland, Ireland, and America have supplied the wool goods for these , clothes. Isl r f We believe we are upholding and strengthening the call for economy in offering these allwool clothes, with an unlimited i guarantee of satisfaction. Suits SIB.OO to $25.00 Overcoats $16.50 to $30.00 The Hart, Schaffner & Marx label in a garment is the sign of all-wool and an absolute guaranty of satisfaction; a small thing to look for, a big thing to find.
