We don't know the price of John Bunny's suit But we do know this it wasn't more than $35 and probably it was a great deal less. For Royal Tailoring gives the utmost in a custom tailored Suit or Overcoat at $16 to $35. Prices:-As amazing as the peerless quality itself. $16, $17, $20, $25, $30, and $35 for the utmost in a custom made Suit or O'coat. RELIABLE MERCHANDISE 1 GEIBEL'S JOHN BUNNY IS NO EASY MAN . rv. TO FIT As big of soul as he is of gifth a hale good fellow, in or out of his work John Bunny is loved by millions. As a moving pic ture actor, he has made more people laugh, has chased more "dull care," killed more grouches and brightened more depressed spi rits than any. other two luimans alive. But as a subject for a tailor to fit! Hush, mates ! .there's a sad story coming. John Bun ny has been the dire despair of good tailors all over the land. Yet a few weeks ago John Bunny walked into a Royal dealer's store, had his measure taken and in a few days returned, and walked out again in a perfect-fitting Royal Tailoi'ed frock suit! Not a flaw in it! Not a crinkle or a wrinkle, not a seam or a stitch that wasn't just right. And never a try-on did Jovial John have. This doesn't surprise us. We, who know the skill and science that prevails in the Royal Shops we, who see the infinite perfection of detail in every Royal garment that comes to this store we KNOW that .these Royal folks can fit any type or size of human figure, if the measure-taking is rightly done. And we make it our business to see that any measure taking done here, IS rightly done. RELIABLE METHODS
