SULLIVAN, JR.? IZE PRICES PNH?0 The consider the general buying power of to-day's dollar alongside of what a dol lar purchased in 1914. You will be firmly convinced that clothing prices are NOT high---unless you pay less than a good, sincere Suit or Over coat can be made for. Investigate as careiully as you wish you will be convinced that Kuppenheimer good clothes gives the biggest value your money can buy. The modern retailer's earnest ambi tion is to give the best merchandise at the least cost to the consumer. He cannot control the costs of raw materials or the cost of production but he can, and does, modify the cost of distribution and his own profits. He can select his merchandise from sincere makers who have the same high ideals as his own---the best interests of the consumer. Why this store presents Kuypen heimer good clothes. Some day the fact will be generally known--that never has this maker, or the store in yonr commu nity which represents The House of Kup. penheimer, offered better values and been satisfied with as small profit, per dollar, as in this exasperating period of High Prices. COME and see the new styles for Spring. Come, looking for what you will GET for the money you can afford to pay. r Company )epartment Store
