public has long since
learned that the statements
made by Hirshberg, the Banner

There is so much deception
and fraud in advertising
methods that the public usually
take advertiser's statements

Hirshberg
always endeavors to tell a
straight story, and the results
have proven that plain truth tells.
This week we are offering
a line of men's Dark Blue
