A Letter That Will
Be of Interest ¥ ¥
To those who buy Good Clothing
Below you will find a letter from our fellow townsman,
V. A, Robinson. Mr. Robinson, before leaving for
Chicago, purchased a suit and overcoat from us, which
be had intended to purchasein Chicago. We induced
him to make the purchase of us—hence this letter. . . g
CHIOAGO, ILL., FEBRUARY 14, 1909,
Mr. Nat McConnell and Boston Dry Goods Co.,
Florence, Colo., ‘
Dear Sir and Gentlemen:—
On top of what you had said relative to possible
difference in prices between yours and Chicago prices,
I thought I would learn for my own satisfaction what I
might have saved on suit and overcoat you sold me, had
I purchased in Chicago. I have not found a single suit
of any make of the quality you sold me for less money
anywhere; in fact, the same suit displayed, bore a tag
50c more than your price. At no time has the suit or
similar quality, been displayed at a sales price, and I
have visited the home of the H., S. & M. Clothing most
every day. The overcoat was displayed on Saturday at
a sale price 50c less than I paid you, not enough dif
ference to pay freight on an individual suit.
These were interesting facts to me and ought
to be to the home merchant. I wish all Florence people
could appreciate the facts as I now do.
Very truly youra,
VERNER A. ROBINSON,
The Boston Dry Goods
and Clothing Company
