Practicing Thrift is a Daily Occurrence at This Store Our customers have come to look upon this store as a war thrift store, for this is indeed a period for making thrifty purchases. Thrifty does not mean being stingy—it d<5es not mean depriving yourself of anything that, you should have. . If you deprive yourself of things you should have, it is almost certain to cost you more in the long-run and that is why the level-headed, thrifty person makes sure that their personal needs are fully taken care of, but they make sure that they secure fullest value for the money expended. Maintaining our high standard of value-giving doubly in sures the title of this store as the “THRIFT STORE OF JUNEAU.’ THERE IS SO MUCH SATISFACTION IN CHOOSING YOUR SUIT WITH SO MANY STLYES BEFORE YOU It is said that there are some 3000 suit manufacturers in New York alone. Yet it is a fact that most merchants in smaller towns and cities buy from a single manufacturer to simplify ordering and to take up less of their time in the collection ot their stocks when in the market. The great objection to this, of course, is that their customers are offered the fashion trend as it is seen by a SINGLE designer, and many other fashions are over looked. Our buyers on their spring trip inspected dozens of the best reputed suit manu facturers and selected a few here and a few there, taking the best out of each line—and these are what you see in making a selection of your spring suit at this store.
