did!
Cf He wrote us a couple
of weeks ago from Co
lumbus, Ohio, as fol
lows: " need a good
Spring Overcoat and
know of no one that
can put one over ,on
Perry's. Send me a
nice, conservative ox
ford, full silk lined, or
otherwise, as your best
judgment may elect.
Size 42. Like a nice
loose coat." And that
was about all!

1 Just four business
days later he wrote:
"The overcoat shipped.
me has arrived and the -
material and tailoring
are high class. I will J
flash it with no little '!
pride."
