IEWAN We Pay Highest And if you at Market Prices For Country Produce of All Kinds Men's Clothing Few men realize the enormous difficulties that prevail in buying clothing this season. Practically the entire wool output is being used for government purposes; those clothing factories that have a stock of woolens are handicapped by the labor situation; railroads are taxed to their utmost capacity to haul military and government supplies, and with hun dreds of other obstacles to overcome it is well nigh impossible to stock clothing at this time. But the buyers for the HOBBS-HENDERSON system of stores foresaw these difficulties months ago and as the result of the buying power for seven stores we are enabled to offer a good assortment of men's wearables at prices considerably less than those that now prevail at other stores with less buying capacity.
