GENTLEMEN:
We take great pleasure in introducing to you
"DRESS-UP WEEK"
OME people call it "Fashion week' It is the latest national insti
tution, and a very worthy one.
Like "Paint-up week" and such events, "Dress-up week" is intended
to stir things up; give a man a few thoughts about his duty to himself
and his associates.
The purpose of "Dress-up week" is to remind you that maybe you
need new clothes and furnishings; that maybe you ought to take more
interest in your appearance; that maybe your wife and children are
tired of that old suit; that the new spring clothes are ready for you.
Now don't say to yourself, "I am a practical business man, no time for fussing about
clothes." If you feel that way, look around at some of the other practical business men of
this town; see if some of them don't look more business-like because they do "fuss" a little
about clothes.
The day has gone by when men are ashamed to dress well; nowadays we find that most
all ages like the confidence given by wearing a well cut, smart looking suit or overcoat.'
So take account of stock; look over the "stand-bys" and see if they haven't stood by
you too long,
Take a little mtesrst in the "dress-up" jdea; we're feady to help you when you do.
