Comments on ladies in Pantino's?! i The campaign is a deft, delightful blend of sex and high fashion. AD Joseph Nissen of -Altman-Stoller, Inc., says, "it was a natural, it was a delight; management was enthusiastic." Purpose of the four-color ads running in Vogue and The New

York Times was ''to create a memo'rable image for the manufacturer of women's pants-to emphasize exceptional fit and styling." Wingate Paine was the photographer. Below. Joseph Magnin approaches the ladies differently in a seven-column-full ad that groups color, pattern, figures for startling impact.

Anybody con buy medium-price su its from discounters. But whot about expensive suits, ore they socred, or something? All right, Luria 's is doing the dirty work. This involves you, you know. Are we simply big talkers? We hove put the facts in this ad you might like to study. Particularly if you ore now paying over $100 each for your suits. We soy every statement is true . Every comp:1rotive price is accurate ond provable. Of course, our tla ims deserve o little investigation around town on your port, too.

As for the moral Issue, you be the judge of thot.

Another thing is the humor of our ods: Humor is interesting. People will read it even if it is quite lengthy. And maybe you never thought of this, -but humor makes you concentrate to get the point. If we can just make people read our ods ond think about whot they're reading, we simply ho.,. to do a tremendous business. Read on, please. We' ll leave it entirely up to you . ·

our

profit

$65 suits

is on

Standard tice for men's stores selling expensive suits is a profit margin of 50% or more. But we work on a 25% margin . You con easily tell how much we paid the manufacturer for any suit in our stock by dividing our price by four . The balance is what we actually paid out. Toke our suits of mohair . These ore $120 or more in any store in America . We get $79.99. Divide our price by four and you get $20.00, our total profit. The rest, '59.99, is exactly how much we paid the manufacturer. Other stores pay from $60 to $6'2 each, but by ordering i.n substantial quantities we con 9et them for $59.99 each . If you multiply $59.99 by two, you get $120, the price these suits sell for in any store that carries them. Yes we break every rule in the book!

As tor the moral isaue, you be the judge ot that. Is it fair tor one store to break the prices on luxury clothing and ret the whole market up in armaT Or put it a different way.

Because we don't take ourselves seriously, aome readers don't take ua seriously either. That is a calculated risk on our part. Humor is interesting. People will read it even it it Ia quite lengthy. And maybe you never thought ot this, but humor makes you concentrate to get the point. It's about that simple. It we can just make people read Gllr ads and think about what they're reading, we simply have to do a tremendous business. Read on, please. We'll leave it entirely up to you.

C]f On the left is an ad that ran on May 6th of this year in a Philadelphia weekly, the Jewish Exponent. C]f CA agrees with the sub-head, ''Luria's does the dirty work." C]f Something stronger than words are needed to end this practice. CA will explore the possibilities .
