Prices Cease to Worry Mine Remain Fixed There are many reasons for MES ex ceptional values. Chief among these is m ability through enormous buying power to secure lowest costs direct from mills and makers. I never buy ST in through wholesalers or jobbers, and have no salesmen or expensive stores. I plan months ahead and buy accord- ingly. Practically all my materials were 3865 Mosprat Street, Chicago bought as long ago as six months or more. These old costs are far lower than today’s market. Not asingle price in my Style Book be raised during the entire season. So Mail Postal Today — Get My Book Early I never urge my customers to buy hurriedly. I much prefer that they sho around everywhere as a | as they don’t neglect to have my book handy for com- parison. Buying quickly from just looking ata n'y item is poor policy, very likely to result in bitter disappointment. Send for my Style Book and also all others. Compare values with mine. See if anyone shows more or better styles. One thing, however, does not admit of com- parison —that is my credit. nothing like it anywhere. \ Original from| Cl O) m JOO! S 5} THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
