John Frank Is First to Furnish— The Livery of Labor at a Fair Figure!!! While luxuries lag under diminishing demand, John Frank is the first to make sweeping reductions on these great staple commodities—the every day necessities of the work-a-day man. Millionaires and bloated bondholders won't be a bit inter ested in this most unusual announcement because this is written to attract the notice of the ordinary, garden variety of everyday folks —the men who toil with hand or head—the hewers of wood and the drawers of water. It is a message of savings—the clarion call of economy and while Overalls are the motif of the story, every item of men's wear ing apparel is involved. We feature overals because most every working man is af fected by the price of these useful garments and what a clothier asks for overalls is a safe barometer of his idea of fair dealing. Down in the corner yonder is Frank's price on overalls, and down at Frank's Big Busy Men's Store every item of men's wear ables is priced on the same low level. You can save a dollar and fifty-five cents on every pair of overalls and the additional saving is limited only by the extent of your purchases. Men's Suits, really fine, well tailored garments of honest to-goodness wool fabrics—the kind you see priced at Seventy-five Dollars are to be had at Frank's for Forty Seven Fifty. $3.50 Union Made Overall Headlight, Finck's, Crown, Special and Ironalls, ALL SIZES eJoly\ F?ai\K. proprietor at FRANK'S Warm, friendly Overcoats, cut in modish fashion from splendid imported and domestic woolens don't command a King's ransom at Frank's. Good coats are priced at Twenty-five to Forty Dollars, the "Likes of Which" bring up to Seventy-five Dollars in many shops. Hats and Caps, Shirts and Ties, Underwear and Sox, Sheep lined Garments and Mackinaws, in fact everything in Frank's replete stock is going at a rate of reduction below prevailing prices, that is exactly proportionate to the price on overalls. Boys' Suits are a feature line at John Frank's, and parents will be agreeably surprised to see how cheaply a boy can be outfitted here. The sort of Boys' Suits that don't sell at Eighteen Dollars in other stores will move rapidly at Frank's new price of Ten Fifty. Men's Separate Trousers are a regular hobby with John Frank. His present stock numbers about two thousand pairs, all good materials—well made, pleasing patterns—many of 'em are priced at half what you would expect to pay. Here's Frank's personal guarantee-"Buy as much or as little of my stock as you need at these new reduced prices and if at any time in the next year you can duplicate the quality at a lower price, I will refund the difference in cash."
