NMWll'.KR -JIM
Mr. John Smith ct al. '
City.
Dear Sir:-
If you think about it a Minute you'll readily sec
that paying $10 or 512 fpr a suit of clothes may really
he extravagant even wasteful as compared with
paying $1 8 or $20 or $25.
The $10 or $12 suit may not be worth the price
in quality and service; and the $20 suit maybe worth
more than the price. There's another phase of it
however quite as important. The $10 suit may be
worth $10 in actual quality but buyr'n it may be
even cxtravagence: for many men ought to wear bet-
ter clothes than they do. Not because the clothes are
not worth what they paid for them but because
they're not worth enough.
Wc want to see you in Hart Schaffner & Marx
clothes for your economy: we can sell you lower
priced clothes if you say so: worth all we ask.
They're not cheaper: just lower priced. But when
we advise you to buy Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes
we are really giving you our best judgment as to
what's best for you.
Yours truly.

EXPERIMENT WITH PLANTS
GOVERNMENT SEEKS FOR A FI-

OF WOOD PULP.
Washington. May 11. This year the
government will spend 1 10000 experi-
menting in breedltie fibrous plants
with a view ot finding a preeniil.U
that will take tha place of wood im:p
In paper making. Less than two
months ago It was discovered th."
the okrn plant has a value for makliri
paper and since that time home v
tensive experiments have been sturt.1
with other plants to ascertain their
value In this particular. Tho result
tu some instances have heen highly
satisfactory and It is now bellevoc.
that the grass found in the Georgia
cane brakes can lie ulltUed in th"
manufacture ot paper Just the sam-
as wood pulp or okra pulp.
Information from the bureau n
plant Industry In Washington Is to the
etfoot that the discovery of this gnwa
as ;t paper material may revolutionize
paper making as the grass can be had
lu great quantities for the cutting and
It grows a crop every year.
