The correct things for spring, the right apparel for Easier, what is Jhe newest?,
what are they going to wear? . v
These and all other questions relating to style and what are the proper things to
wear are generally supposed to be of interest to the ladies only but we think otherwise.
We believe that the men are ust as much interested in being well and properly dressed as
the ladies ani for that reason we have used the same care In selecting merchandise for
OUR MEN' WEAR DEPARTMENT as for any other.
This department is now complete in every detail and we invite yoar inspection of
the same.
