The fundamental difference between Perry
Clothes and all others is that Perry Suits and
Overcoats are made by Perry for the definite
requirements of Philadelphia tastes and needs.
We make them as we sell them, one by one.
Most other clothes are made in the mass and
sold in the mass to dealers North, South, East
and West, with general characteristics as in
definite as the map they are designed to cover,
I While Perry models conform to the general
"Styles" of the season in the sense that coats
have a certain length, lapels a certain contour,
backs a cejrtain snugness or fulness, as the case
may be; yet the executiorL.of a cut, of a curve, of
an angle, of a pocket-slant, of a vent or a gore
is endowed by Perry with that certain indi
viduality, that deftness of tailoring looked for
and expected in fifty to sixty-dollar clothes.
