'flashy"
If you are wearing clothes that are made
to your measure by a tailor that knows his bus
1 intss,;you feel not only the comfort of a good
fitting garment but tile assurance that your
clothes do not-have the cheap hand-me-down
appearance that characterizes so many would
be dressers. .
There's an individuality about Columbia
. Tailored clothes that has popularized them
'with well-dressed men men who desire some
thing genteel, yet strictly up-tc-me-minute in
style.- None of the baggy cheap appearance
- "goes" with good dressers.
We have been making clothes for the
same men for three years. They come back
to us every season for their clothes. It's the
satisfaction they have received at our hands
that has kept them coming.
' If you will select a suit at the Columbia
-Woolen Mills Co., you will get the exact piece
of goods you designate and every bit of the
work will be done in Portland in our own work
shop. You don't buy from sample at this store.
A nobby, genteel suit, made of the best
, wool ens on the market, that will compare in
style and appearance with anything worn in
Portland, can be had at from $20 to $50. At
least a $10 to $20 saving on the price of suits
of the same character made by other tailors.

Roosevelt says It would be a ' mis

erates a number of good measures that
have been enacted of lata He forgets
to add. however, that many of these
bills were passed by Democratic votes,
and that he had to call upon Tillman
and other Democrats to help him with
his rate bill and other useful measures.
