A Citizen of
Philadelphia . ;
said to an advertis
ing man the other
day "Tell mb how
to advertise my busi
ness successfully"
and quick as a flash
came back the
answer:
"Make Satisfied
Customers!
They ivill 8 end
Ijou more new
business than
any other kind of
advertising."
!And that is one of
the principles at the
bottom of Perry & Co.'a
.success. We want
every man who wears
a Perry Suit or aJPerry
Overcoat to be a
booster for Perry
Values and for Perry
Service.
Cjlt's with that aim
and ambition in mind
that we tackle every
phase of our work. In
the back of our head wc
have the t h o u g fi t:
"How will this fabric
wear, liow will it look,
how will it advertise
Perry's?" as wc go
through the millions of
sample's that the mills
offer us from season to
season.
4$ Same thing of Perry
designing and tailoring.
They must have mqre
than surface finish.
They must be sound to
the core cut for com
fort as well as looks,
tailored for service as
well as show, sound at
every stitch.
JFor, the man who
wears Perry clothes
and finds them even a
little better than he ex
pectedthan he ever
got from anybody else
is bound to tell Jack,
Jim and William about
us, and they'll come
here, too!
Q What kind of clothes

getting?
