The last of the fruit bloom, the
winter apples, are now out and fruit
men are anxiously awaiting the pas
sing of the next week or ten days
until danger from frost Is over.
Smudge pots in the big orchards are
in readiness in case of ’emergency
and many owners are closely watch
ing their thermometers to be on
guard. The outlook in the apple
crop so far is good and hopes are
that the project will yield as large
a crop of the fruit as the year 1919.

---and in
low price, quality
is maintained
During the thirty-five years that
this company has been designing and
tailoring high grade, made-to-mea
sure clothes, whenever it came io a
choice between the maintenance of
quality and the cheapening of our
product, Kahn quality has never suf-
feted—the Kahn standard has never
been lowered.
On the other hand, by creating
through Kahn quality a great de-
ntand for our clothes, we have nat-
urally been enabled to produce in
great volume, and that single advant
age has been sufficient to keep the
price of Kahn Clothes always within
the reach of gentlemen of moderate
means and of careful buying habits,
The soundness of this policy has
proved out in practice—today the
Kahn Tailoring Company is the
world’s largest producer of fine, tail-
ored-to-measure clothes.
Such exclusiveness of design, such
careful hand tailoring, such all-wool
purity of materials and such perfec-
ticn of fit apparently Justify prices
far in excess of anything that Khan
dealers will ever ask you to pay.
Particularly at this time the sur
prising economy of Kahn clothes is
an unanswerable argument, and I am
ready to measure you for perfect fit
ting clothes of quality.
