q IXTY-FIVE dollars practically represents the buying power of $30 back in 1914. No matter what you purchase furniture, food or clothing. When you stop to think a moment: the shortened hours of labor production. the rapid wage increases. how the four and a half years of war ate up the world's surplus of raw materials so that now the supply cannot begin to catch up wTith the demand. after thinking that over you wonder HOW it is possible to obtain as good clothes at $65 as were offered you for $30 in 1914, or $25. w HEN you come and see the splendid, sincere, elegant craftings in Kuppenheimer clothes this Spring you will scoff at the whispered propaganda you hear. They are first-class quality, thru and thru. They are superbly tailored. They reflect good style, he-man style, American style that is in good taste. Don't take a chance this season. The dividing point between money's worth and sham is very marked after the first day's wear of the sham. There are many substitutions and adulterations created to take advantage of the unwary and men who have not stopped to figure out conditions as they are. Kupp enheimer

IVlore they are thoroughly preshrunk and cannot warp their seams or twist after being worn the first time in the rain or fog.

OU will be just as proud to wear these good clothes as

we are to sell them. Not only because of the better appearance they give you but because they are the cheapest clothes in the long run, they wear longer and hold their shapeliness and style to the very end.
