I And now the country is celebrating these two historic events in a great pageant; the I two clumsy little vessels, reproduced in exact size and appearanc, are to be saluted by I a great fleet of warships, assembled from all the big navies of the world; the civic and I military parades and commemorative exercises are to be held to honor these two I historic events in the progress of civilization. I You’ll read about it in all the newspapers. Meanwhile, we've discovered someI thing, too. We’ve found that I Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes H * ■ ; • ?"’ s ■ I are the best clothes made; that we can serve our fellowmen to best advantage by supI plying these clothes. It’s a discovery which a lot of others have also made; more men I who dress well wear these clothes today than any other make, and our steadily increasI ing business shows that the people of this community have discovered that there is no I better place to supply their wants than at The G.
