Dee & Sons' Big Suit and Boot Store. Advice to Men and B ys : Bi y more Clothes than you need If the war ends to-morrow Woollen Goods are going higher in price. There's going to be world-wide : trade prosperity for a time, whk-h will even surprise the Optimist. The world is to >;o rebuilt and millions of men and women are to be re-clbthed, and the big world warehouses are to be restocked and trade generally is to be re-educated all over again. GOOD STATESMEN have proved that soldiers wear thirteen times as much, wool as a civilian. Every army man uses 60 pounds of scoured wool a year, and when you multiply these figures by men at war you get an idea why there will be world shortage of woollen goods. And then comes the law of Supply and Demand and the natural increase of pi-ices. Wool is practically a non-elastic commodity; it's production can only be increased through the slowness of Nature, and with soldiers using 13 times as much as they formerly did and most of it been lost entirely, it shows all goods containing wool must be on the advance. This is. why we urge bur patrons to supply their apparel now and take advantage o2 our Big Stocks of Clothes of all sorts. There is nothing surer prices will be duplicated but not the values. Later you will get less for the same money or pay more to get present quality, and that condition must continue and grow steadily worse until the world puts down the sword and takes up "the sickle and gets to growing wheat instead of woe. The woollen clothe* situation is growing more and m ore critical. Good cloftes will Become scarce, and it's wise to W ™>™ clothe, than J»K— «* Take our tip and trip to our store wul prove a. good investment. Dee and Sons THE STORE FOE GOOD SUITS AND BOOTS.
