What is the use of getting continual increases in wages if you are compelled, as the result of such increases, to pay more in the cost of living—in clothing- in particular? You wonder how such increased cosfc of living comes about? It's just this way: As the cost of goods to the manufacturers becomes higher, so will ithe cost become correspondingly higher to you, the more hands those goods pass, through before you receive them. • Like the snowball that increases in size as it rolls along, so does the price of your suit increase with, the number o£ unnecessary profits and expenses you pay. Why 7iOf get right down to bedrock? Why not pay one profit only—deal for cash—save the high rents? Patronise, a. firm that makes the suits it sells, and sells them at wholesale prices direct to you.
