'(From the New York Journal editorial page of Tuesday, January 29th.) Know Who Makes Them When You Buy Clothes. Copyright, 1924. by Star Comprtny When you buy clothes ready made ? the kind that all SENSIBLE people now buy be sure that there is on the clothing a NAME that you know . When a man puts millions into advertising a name he has something at stake. He doesn't destroy that name, which is worth more than all his factories. Also, when he puts millions into building up a name, you know that he must have a name that is WORTH something and that is based on honesty. You realize the importance of having the right name at tached to your clothing when you read that fifty millions of ready-made clothing for men and women is ruined every year when sent to the cleaners because seams in the clothing, are glued together instead of being sewn. And the buttons are made of material that melts and disappears under steam heat. LOOK FOE THE NAME. A good name, well known, well established. When you find it you will know that you have found something woTth buying. I It gives us a good deal of satisfaction to know that a great editor endorses the ser vice that we've been rendering for years. We feature the name Hart Sh&fFner & Marx because it stands for m'oiT4 in clothing than any name that we know of. It means finest of all-wool fabrics, expert needlework, smart authentic style. You know what you're getting; we know what we're selling ? it's fine for both of us. CAMDEN CLOTHING CO.
