(Main Floor, Mnrket) Men's Suits That Belie Their Looks and Men's Suits That Do Not One of the great sources of trouble and confusion in life is the fact tha so many things are not what they seem. Certainly it would prevent a great many mistakes if the inside of things could always be truly judged from the outside. The one reason why there is so much men's clothing of an inferior kind in the market is because it can be made to carry an appearance of merit. There are thousands of men's suits in Philadelphia today that seem to look as well as any ready-to-wear suits can look, especially on a wax model and yet they are fairly loaded with cotton and skimped in the making. The average man cannot on sight tell the difference between them and the genuinely fine all-wool, hand-tailored suits, but if he buys and wears one of the imitations he is boun to find out. However, the man who knows how to lay out his money doesn't take chances with suits that he can't depend on as long as he is sure of finding suits he can depend on in this Store at the lowest fair prices, all-wool, finely tailored, correctly fashioned suits, the standard suits of the country at the prices, $32 to $80; overcoats, $35 to $80.
