IT'S QUITE
A TRICK
,To write a convincing adver-
tisment about clothing nowa
t davs. All dealers claim so
i much, and most of them too
j much for the discriminating
; reader to believe. All I do is to
j trv and set Y0U t0 1 at mJ'
stock. It is easy to sell then.
Mv constant aim is to put into
S the cloths all the nttractive-
ness of artistic fashion and
! careful making at the lowest
possible price. U h;s is why 1
retain my old trade and con
stantly receive new customers.
Ask those who wear the latest
and finest clothes where they
