ARE YOU' PARTICULAR ABOUT
YOUR CLOTHES?
Do you demand the best.in materials,

Then you should be a Hughes & Muller

For seventy years we have devoted
our efforts to making clothes for
Philadelphia men who sought these
qualities in the garments they wore.
And to say that we have been suc
cessful in our work would be spcak

The steady increase in patronage that
we receive is the best proof we have
to offer that our efforts have been suc
