We have a full assortment of Palm Beach suits,
and all kinds of summerwear for men and boys, but
the reduced prices on these will continue for just a few
days longer. We do not want to carry them over to
next summer; we need the space and so are closing
them out. Summer is not nearly over, and we
seriously doubt if you will be able next year to buy
clothing as cheaply as you can now. Get a Palm
Beach NOW, wear it a while and then have it practi
cally new for next year.
Khaki for Men and Boys
We have khaki, the non-shrinkable, well-made
kind, for men and boys. And riding khaki lake-leg
kind, for both men and boys. All sizes.
