That idea is erroneous, and a thorough investigation will convince you that here you can buy a 98c waist that will prove the best value obtainable at that price. The only difference is, that we state this fact in a few words, without an exaggeration, simply asking you to compare. It is natural that we would not misrepresent a cheap garment any more than a high priced one.

Our methods of doing business will not permit it. Therefore, in order to prove our statement, we are making a special showing of 98c waists on our first floor in aisle 4. We claim they are as good as any 98c waist in America and we're ready to prove it. Come any day this week. Earns Company The Store of Progress, Fashion and Economy.
