It means still lower prices bigger output and lower working expenses—the two firms work together under the same roof with the same workpeople. It means the combining of the many years’ experience of Messrs. Hancox and Steere Ltd. with that of the expert creative staff of the Crown Clothing Co.—a combination of brains and skill that cannot fail to render still better service to the public. It means better buying facilities—materials will have to be bought in still bigger quantities than before—greater concessions will be secured, which in turn will he passed on to you.
