It consists of over 400 of the most ..fashionable and best pieces of cloth the market can produce. Con trolling our own mills, and buying our trimmings in tremendous qaan tities with which to make our clothes to order, we are in a position to do what the small tailor can NOT do and make a living. Besides, our Company has the necessary cash with which to' take advantage ot alj inducements offered in the market; whereas we do a strictly Cash business, and therefore do not make you pay for the losses on the cred it customer. For these and other reasons we make a suit or over coat to your individual measure for 0 which others can not produce for less than from $30.00 t0 $35.00. We make them right, trim them right, and above all fit you right. We guarantee this or do not want you to take the clothes. Can you ask for anything more? Don't be a readymade man, but have your clothes made to your special order. Get that distinction, style and proper fit which gives tone to your individuajlity.
