What Are
Good Clothes?
One of the essentials of good
clothes is corntt taihring right
hang and fit, with individuality
that distinguishes from the
" ready-made."
The other very important
feature is the dependable quality
and smart style of the fabric used.
When your suit is made of
DETMER'S WOOLENS it
is guaranteed all pure wool. It
will give you good tervict and
hold its shape.
Come in and have your
clothes "individualized."
