You 11 pay a little more
for Hart Schaffner &
Marx clothes than for the
ordinary stuff; its an advan
tage, not a disadvantage.
You get more value in them than the ordi
nary clothes; all wool fabrics, fine tailoring,
best style. .
—You want value in these
things, not just clothes.

"There was one time a gener

in Alaska offered pretty {rood op

kepi a lot of fellows busy pre
