shirts 



to be fully up to my representations, and better shirts for the price than 

 ever been sold before. 



The price is so much less than has oyer been asked for the starched and pol 

 ished shirts universally sold, that people can readily perceive that they have 

 been paying at the rate of ten dollars a pound for starch, as used m shirts; and 

 this is not, nil the starch, thev can sec, has been used to conceal the coarse 

 fabric and bad work. These shirts are free from starch ; they are sent just as they 

 come from the work-room, with material and workmanship open to inspection. 



How I can afford to sell so good an article for so small a juice— less than the 

 usual cost of the bare materials— is a problem which has puzzled many of my

And Everybody Tells the Price

patrons. Yet it is not so difficult to explain and understand. I manufacture in 

 very large quantities ; use the latest and most improved labor saying machinery i 



my 'small expenses xtensivc city store, elaborate .showrooms, and expensive 



salesmen— and, furthermore, the entire business is strictly on a c ash basis. 1 buy 

 all materials for CASH, I pay my help promptly in cash, and I sell my goods 

 strictly and only for cash. 



Again, it must be remembered that in dealing with me my patrons save all the 

 intermediate prntits chained by the different merchants and middle men before 

 reaching the consumer. The' goods literally go "from the work-room to the 

 wearer " Thus can I sell my wares for so small a ju ice, and yet make a jirotit, for 

 I do not put forth the shallow pretense that I am selling at. or below cost for the 

 purpose of introducing my shin-, etc , but f sell them at niv advertised prices 

 and make a pro lit— a small profit, true, but the large atrgregate amount of my 

 business makes the profit satistaetory. Those who may have doubts of the correct 

 ness and honesty of my representations are invited to send for a sample, stating 

 size of collar usually worn. 



And at same rate for a 



greater or less quantity- 



Satnples will be sent by mail, poxt-pairl, for $1,13, for any quantity. 



My customers need have no fear that the shirts will not l each them safely by I order on New- York, or money in Registered Letter. Postage stamps will be 

 mail. The losses by mail have not averaged one parcel in a thousand, samples accejded for moderate amounts. 



of the material used and instructions for self-measurement will be sent free. If your order is to go by express, please state the express company you 



Remittances may be made by P. 0. Money Order, Bank Check, or Draft to my I desire the goods to be forwarded by.
