The war has been responsible for peculiar conditions in . the clothing business, and _ when _ a Hamilton cencern offered me 2,000 men‘s and boys‘ overcoats at prices that I could sell them at reâ€" tail at their wholesale value, I simply took the lot, having confiâ€" dence in the people of Hamilton and vicinity, that they would back me with their custom; and when one considers that every overcoat sold by me, made in Hamilton, em ployment is given to Hamilton workmen: and although you may not have. subscribed anything to any of the funds, you are â€" doing your share by keeping Hamilton workmem working. _ € We start the season with a sale of 2,000 overcoats. It will be the most important commercial event of the year in Hamilton, chiefly because of great value givâ€" Lot For seven years we‘ve told you ‘hat this was ‘"The Home of The Overcoat‘"‘ and now we‘re proving it and proving it conclusively. ng son ovERCOAT WEEKg AT THE HOME OF THE OVERcOAT.
