You Can't Buy Better Ones That not only applies to the style in these waist-seam suits we are showing, but to quality in the clothes. Hart Schaffner & Marx use nothing but the finest all wool fabrics; that means long er wear, better fit, style that stays stylish. You'll pay more for such clothes but they'll cost you less than others, day in and day out, because they wear longer; you get more days of service for every dollar you spend; that's the only way you can really determine whether a price is low or high. Our prices are the lowest you'll find, considering what you get. We don't iust say that, we guarantee it. Your moncy back, if you dGn't think so, too.
