Spring Suits
far removed
from "cheapness"
There are plenty of
Suits that are just as
"cheap" in nature as they
are in name.
But, every man who
earns his bread in the
sweat of his brow knows
that it is the grade of
work m a n s h i p which
makes a thing valuable or
valueless.
These $15, $18, $20
Spring Suits of ours could
not be so well made,
could not be so depend
able, if their cost were a
penny less than their
, Perry Prices!
As a man of practical
sense, don't be "penny
wise, pound foolish" to
day or tomorrow!
