A Better Stock of Electrical Webster defines wages, salary and remuneration in almost identical terms, viz.

recompense for services rendered. But in practical everyday usageeach has a greatly different meaning, and the difference is in the amount of cash a man receives in his pay envelope. It is because we realize that there is a great divergence in the earnings of all men, and because we realize that each man must be supplied with clothes at a price that is in accordance with his means, that we have dedicated this store as a store of service for all men, regardless of whether they earn wages, salary, or remuneration. Whatever price a man can afford to pay for clothes, we have the clothes he can afford to buy. Whether his limit is 1 5, or whether it be 1 00, we are prepared to take care of his needs to perfection.

And to us it makes very little difference whether a man buys our lowest or our highest priced garment. We only know that he is a patron 'and deserving of our very best service, attention and courtesy. So, come along and see our wonderful clothes at all prices from $15 to $50 NOTICE!
