A vital contributing factor to the popu?
larity of our clothes is that every suit and
overcoat we design is in recognition of the
service and fashion demands of men who
know values.
And these demands take it as a foregone
conclusion that the quality of our clothes
will enhance their wearing value. Know?
ing this, we continually make the best gar
ments we can produce and sell them at
moderate prices.

Why the administration refuses to
