And yet others find their clothes looking shabby after a few months' wear. Where does the difference come in? It's all hi the quality of the original garment. ' , . When ycu buy Good Clothes you save for yourself because the , clothes last longer ; you save labor and material for the coun try because you don't buy so often. . - That's the reason we say Hart Schaffncr & Marx clothes Materials, designing, tailoring are the best , obtainable.

The only defeat against Young Samson in the last five years was when Ad.
