“Such a suggestion without que« tion would meet with the strongest possible opposition from the American Legion. The American Legion has given the subject its most careful consideration and advanced the four-fold plan only when it was apparent that plan best meets the desires and requirements of ex-service men and women throughout the

country.

“Consider what it means to the country to have from a quarter to a half a million ex-service men going

Men’s Spring and Sommer SUITS

All-Wool Materials High-Grade Tailoring

Is my price for a made-to-measure Suit that is equal in material, fit and tailoring to suits selling generally at $50.00. On Saits ranging from $40 to $70 your savings will range from $20 to $25.

NO MIDDLEMEN That is th» real reaenn why I can aell you a better salt for ieea money. The majority of ao-cailed •'tailora” are merely order takers. They taka your order and hava a big tailor shop like mine to make your suit. You pay the order taker's rent, his bad debts, hla clerk hire, hie profit sad the profit of the shop that flila hia order. la it any wonder clothes prices are high? If you don't favor the overall idea simply apply a little logic to the problem and do your part toward cutting out frilla. falae muttons and extravagance. By doing so you can save from IS to *• per cent, on every suit you buy. I make nothing but all-wool aulta. I use pure Belgian linen to build up the coat fronts; the buttonholes (with exception of trousers) are hand made with pure silk thread.

HERE’S MY PLAN 1 have no salesmen—you wait on yourself. The materials are on racks with plain figure price tickets attached. One of the fitters will take your measure and book your order. No Rent ta Pay—My display room is at one end of my shop. The rent of this portion is so trivial that I do not charge it on my books. 1 Have No Bad Debts—I do business on a cash basis. A deposit with every order, the balance when the suit is to your satisfaction. Your deposit returned if suit is not to your satisfaction. No Fancy Fixtures—I couldn't get more than $100 for all the fixturea I have in my display room. If I had several thousand dollars so Invested I would have to charge more for clothes. Small Profit—My net profit on a suit of clothes will not average more than $2.S5. Surely that puts me out of the profiteering class. Result—I can and will save you from $15 to $25 on a suit of clothes.

Automobile Company factory here to the effect that the shutdown of the factory which employes 3,000 persons. Is due entirely to the railroad strike, which disarranged transportation and material supplies, some local observers believe that a final consolidation of the Maxwell and Chalmers motor Interests scheduled for May 1, may be the real cause of the closing. The Automotive Industries, a trade paper, last week published an article from New York, in which It was declared the final merger Is to be expected by May 1 and that W.

The Maxwell Interests have been operating the Chalmers plant under a lease and last October committees were appointed from both concerns to work out details of a merger.
