I it UPWARD TENDENCY IN REAL ESTATE SELLING THE USHER WHOLESALE STOCK BOUGHT FOR 47 CENTS ON THE 4 My porsnnal advice to every man in Dea Moines is to got in on this. rlhm't let this get past without taking- advantage of this great opportunity, got at least one suit out of it.

AH overcoatings at just half price. Think of it just t. price. If you paid the full price you would get value than you can possibly get Inlying these flimsy, cheaply made, chop lined, ready made overcoats. The hest of them do not compare with Littleton'! overcoats in nny manner anil at that my prices are lower.

The speculator, the business mm. makes nmt of his money by hiking advantage of the market. All should apntv -the sama rule to personal expenditures. A dollar saved ts a dollar earned. Every suit made In Ie Moines, by the best tailors that money will hire.
