-SALE

The no-sale policy of this store has always enabled us to undersell all competitors and thereby affect a net saving to you of from $5 to $8 on a single suit or overcoat, and you didn't have to wait until the end of the season to get the right price. Now while other stores are marking their merchandise up 25, which they are justified in doing owing to the market advance, we will offer you in this 15-DAY SALE First Class Merchandise 25 cheaper than they ever sold it. This means a net saving to you of 50.

HERMAN SAUD "WAR IS HELL" AND

THESE

WAR TIMES

For the past nine months 73 of all the woolen mills in the United States have been working on Government orders, leaving only 27 of the mills making cloth for civilian clothes. The wool in these suits we will offer you costs 18c to 20c per pound. The same wool today costs $1.00 per pound. All reserve stocks of piece goods are nearly and in most cases completely exhausted and manufacturers are in the open market today competing with the Government buying what little cloth there is. AN ALARMING CONDITION HIGH PRICE WOOL A SCARCITY OF LABOR NO MILLS TO WEAVE THE CLOTH

'COAT CLOTH CONDITION BS GRAVE

Did you know that Uncle Sam offered and paid almost one dollar per yard profit on every available piece of cloth that would weigh 20 ounces to the yard to make blankets for our soldiers? The manufacturers gladly turned over to the Government all piece goods in their possession. This completely demoralized the heavy cloth market and means an advance of at least 50 in the price of Overcoats for next season. Thanks for these reserve stocks, also the patriotism of our manufacturers and, God protect our soldier boys. Remember, this sale of first class merchandise will continue for 15 days only. Come in and judge for yourself. You will not be urgsd to buy. This store will be open evenings during this sale for the benefit of those who cannot come during the day.

Of course you remember the morning you came to South Bend you needed both a suit and overcoat badly. You first stopped at the store where you had been buying and the suit you liked was marked $20.00, and you had only $25.00 in your pocket. You came down to the 999 Clothiers, corner Wayne and Michigan streets, and went home pleased with both suit and overcoat and paid cash for them.
