Tailor-made Clothes
Ready to Wear
There is no denying the fact that ready-tailored
clothes today are vastly superior to the so-ealleS
liand-mc-down clothes of not so many years ago.
The great establishments which tailor rendv-to
wear apparel nowadays employ the very best tailors
and the most skillful designers.
That these concerns are better able to study and
interpret the styles of the nation at a less cost than
the small tailor, is only natural.
Custom tailoring at a minimum price is y0nr8 ju
the good clothes we sell at $15 and up.

Have you ever noticed how an
audience yawns in the face
.of an uninspired speaker
Enthusiasm is the buoyant expression of truth. To
impart beliet in anything a man must believe it deep
ly himself. Ve call such a man an enthusiast. On
the other hand, have you noted how an audience will
lean forward and grasp the chair arms when tho
speaker reveals enthusiasm?
This applies to the written word also particularly
to advertisements. When the manufaeturer really
believes in his wares, his enthusiasm will almost in
evitably find expression in ADVERTISING. And
To he convincing, an advertisement must
convey an unmistakable impression of en
thusiasm. This it will only do when the
article advertised has inherent worth.
