TORT 44'410•44.4-4144..flir444*-44-441iii14 The reputation of a reliable store for men's outfitting is like the reputation a woman has for cleanliness -it is kept up by means of constant work alone. The duration of clean- liness lies between the washings. The newness of our store and stock is a matter of hourly attention. We ,never leave it alone, never give it any restF, keep 4urning it out and over. That is the reason why you wfill see 1 Ss of old and unsale- able goods in our store than the lima run of large clothing stores -everything clean and prisp, v ith the look of a tidy woman about it. Things are ,not all show, but yon have the sense that there is no dust riisctden oth eaten goods • about the place. There is no place that ou can buy men's goods as well as at a man's store. _Special ork' c lls for special training. We are specialists in men's c °thing and wearing apparel of. all kinds ; that is why we ha'e succeed& . • Any,person may - engage in the clothing business ; it is a different 'thing to engage in it serviceably to yo r customers and profitably to yourself. The energy which -on tra le for us in the past will win again. If you are not a •egular customer, We think that there is a chance left for y u to ii prove your purchasing power with us. Some values at presen 20c per yard, and we will cut threshers' or felt plowing hat 50e; overalls, with or withou, a low priced working outfit at overall, a good article for erigi for our own make is 75c. A boys' buckskin pants at 25c wear; boys' long stockings, f 15c a pair; boys' school cap we are clearing out at 8c and cap at 25c; boys' standup a two for 25c and three for 25c, linen; a few dozen of boys' b at :35c, 400, 45c and 50c, ace plow mitt of oiled_ tanned calf e. of finger to wrist 11 inches, s A nelette and cotton top shirts on hand are heavy buckskin at the goods free of all charge; at 50e. blue derry sniqks at the bit also 50c. This makes $1, T aere is also a black jean eers ai Ld machinists, the price ong tli values we offer are the pair- list the thing for school ur ply orsted yarn, all cotton, , some 3 or. 4 dozen of odd. caps 10c a cap, better crudities of d turn own white linen collars, according to the•weight of the ss ties t 1.0c a piece; overalls r mg to size anti quality ; our s le gth of same -from end Ring at 25c a pair • men's flan - t 25c, -50 and 50c. It is a never failing po nt of interest with us to be able to talk about and sell plenty of " ou - own make of $8 and $1.0 men's suits. As a geneial thing we are, to say the least, candid, not to say conceited, about tie value of our owni, wake of $8 and $10 suits f r men, The qualities, the styles' and makes of these suits thie year, e. ceed anything that we have. ever produced, and we are confi lent that there is nabs. lug which excels them for vane in ti e market. We wish to mention a suit at a price, narrally, $ .75, which, so far as we are concerned, will equal any slit at '8 to $12. Of -course, the material is not fine, and 41 mak-, while not the finest, strong. This we call our mvery - ay ".knockabout suit," and f )1. the man who wants sorpetliiiig for real wear, this is the srticle that compels atte tion. Have you purchased y u S'pri g hat yet ? If not, you will be purchasing, and we r ay say that we are in a position to satisfy you. In hard felt Christy hats, in the soft felts, in the knockabouts, in the fedoras' in the Stetson shaped and crush hat, in all these various Ines we have a well assorted and up-to-date line.
