If you don't believe it,you can just come in and count them.
Imagine . . . A great big dormitory engulfed in a sea of LEVI'S' blue jeans, corduroys, and brush denims.
Think what it would be like to open your window in the morning and catch the smell of fresh denim.
Aaah . . . . what could be sweeter? But alas the K.U. Board of Regents expressly forbids the internment of any university building with 100% cotton blue jeans-or even corduroys!
So if you want to see thousands of LEVI'S jeans, you'll have to come to Lawrence Surplus. 740 Mass.
Only at Lawrence Surplus can you find all the LEVI'S jeans you want, in the color you want in the size you need.
So, hurry down to Lawrence Surplus, and pick from a whole graveyard of LEVI'S' jeans.
Come run to
"The Home of LEVI'S Jeans"
