The law of supply and demand predominates. Then There must be a demand or commodities sell cheap. So it boils down to this: n You buy from us. We buy from the manufacturers. The manufacturer buys from the producer and you, Mr. Farmer, the producer, benefits. So do we. So does every one else Good times will come back when the demand is greater than the supply. So buy, buy, buy and then we can say Bye Hard Times. We are meeting conditions fair and square. We are sacrificing our profits, thereby giving the consumer the benefit of reduced prices immediately instead of waiting until we receive goods at reduced prices. You won't buy next Spring any cheaper than you can |>uy from us now. So we contend we are right when we say buy now. * PUT MONEY INTO CIRCULATION SPEED 'EM UP STABILIZE BUSINESS Christmas Gifts for Every man in the Family THE MENS SHOP Telehone 28 1013 Broad St.
