Men's Suits
There are the ready made suits the kind that
men just slip into and buy as they conic.

A package of chocolates that speaks of the far-off isles
where the cacao trees bend in the breeze of the Spanish Main.
A visit to PLEASURE ISLAND is best when made by a
man and a maid, and together they enjoy the plunder from

things, th.e love of romance, the imagination to see the pic
turesque. '

to you? Do you thrill to tho call of its bags of bullion sweets
and its tray of candy treasures? If you do you have the
passport to PLEASURE ISLAND.
