You will have to wear old clothes, used clothes, or lower your clothing expenses, they say, but there's a solution. They give you a catalogue of very nice clothes--men's, women's, children's. The pictures of the clothes, in full color on glossy paper, is just what you need to reduce your costs so you look presentable at the next job interview. And no one notices that the clothes the banker wants you to buy are all made in Pakistan.
