a Difference
in Clothes
That is why the Sack Suits
madeyby Crouse & Brandegee,
Manufacturing Tailors, Utica, New
Yorkf are the choice of men who
have "looked around." .
They have found the difference
between these, and the best mer
chant tailor's the difference is in
price. .We have them at about half
what the tailor wants for equal
qualities. ,
They have also found where
these suits differ -from "cheap"
clothing. They cost more cer
tainly but when it comes to style,
fit and quality that's another
thing.
See them and judge for yourself.
