Do you know why automobiles
are getting cheaper?
ft Automobiles are becoming cheaper because the
manufacturer is coming to realize that increased
business lies in the direction of giving the cus
tomer more for his money.
ft Personally, we have always worked on the basis
that the bigger the value the bigger the volume,
and Saks suits at $17.50, $20 and $23 this.season
are palpably better than ever before.
ft We have enlarged our facilities for producing
suits at these popular prices, and we have also
materially improved the quality and character of
the garments themselves.
ft The fabrics in these suits are such as most
houses reserve for higher prices, and the models
exhibit exclusive touches which you will seek in
vain in other garments at the same figures.
ft Skeletonized and half lined styles, with any
number of alternatives in the treatment of collar,
cuff and lapel and a variety of selection in which
