AUSTIN, MINNESOTA.
RELIABLE
and good fitting garments
Is the foundation on which we have built up
our trade. The general demand for our Tailor
Made Suits is a demonstration of the people's
confidence in these goods. It shows that they
have had enough of trashy, poor fitting cloth­
ing, which are generally advertised as Great
Bargains. Low prices oftener mean cheap or
poor goods than good goods cheap. Our stock
of Spring and Summer Clothing is now full
and complete. While we don't believe in these
Great Bargain announcements, which are us­
ually more wind than facts, we will say that
these goods were marked at a very small mar­
gin above cost, and we guarantee them to be
better fitting and cheaper than you can buy
elsewhere.
Our Children's Clothing Department
is the largest and finest in the city, at bed
rock prices. Large assortment of Latest
Spring Styles of Hats and Cent's Furn­
ishings. Every article in our establish­
ment is marked in plain figures.
Strictly one price to all. We do not consider it a favor,
should anything bought of us not as represented, not to
have it returned to us, as we cheerfully refund the money on all
purchases if not satisfactory. With these true business princi­
ples, we solicit your inspection and a share of your patronage.
