So CLOTHING In a history of his life said the American people want to be humbugged. Is this a fact or is it false? We are sorry to say that in a very great degree it is true. There are some people that no matter how well they are treated in a ligitimate One Price Store, stil! want to go where they are sure to pay a good round profit the on the suit they buy and must likely pay profit on somebody else's clothe?. We leave it to you to decide. Is it not better to deal where you know your dollar buys as much as any man's dollar, or is it best to deal where you kuow you will bo humbugged. Where they have no regard for truth and when you pay them all they ask they are mad because they did not ask more.
