Some people go so far as to say, "That we should be prohibited from selling Ready-made Clothing at such sacrifice prices." Be that as it may, the gain is yours. This week we have the biggest snaps in Suits that we have ever offered. The maker's price for these was $10.00 ; there are just 15 of these Suits —that is the only trouble, quantity too small — made from the choicest Tweeds in light and dark shades ; the patterns are very satisfying ; enough kinds to meet all good tastes ; Suits are silk and linen sewn throughout ; on Saturday, May 31st, you may buy one of these $10.00 Suits, while they last, for $6 75 (You may as well save $3.25 as your neighbor.)
