Already have we on display the advanced styles
for Spring 1908. Beautiful effects in the brown
plaids and stripes. -:- -:- . ,:. .:.
The Styles are great. Snap and ginger right up to
the minute. Many are made in the now so popular
pegtop trousers with cuff bottoms, strap and button
sleeve ornaments and all the other little details that
go to make up the suit for the "nifty" boys.
Others are more conservative, having less of the
more pronounced effects but with a character
that appeals to the well dressed man.
