I An ounce of first hand knowledge is worth a pound of presumption derived from print. f And so we respect fully suggest that you, who try, from reading alone, to make up your mind just where you can buy to your best ad vantage the new clothes you ought to have this season we respectfully suggest that you look the Suits and Overcoats over, here, there, and elsewhere. qWe KNOW that, here at Perry's, 16th & Chestnut, we se lected our fabrics from thousands; that we saw a lot we wouldn't cons ider for a minute; that every ounce of them is simon-pure wool; that they are ALL wool and GOOD wool; that the pat terns are beautiful, varied, desirable; that we made the Suits and Overcoats ourselves from these fabrics ; that they are cut to a hair's breadth for all sizes and proportions of men for the regu larly built, for "longs," for "shorts," for "stouts," for "short stouts," for "extra stouts," and that for Fit, for Com fort, for Character and Style we yet have to see their equals. J But, then, again you'd better see some others, and then drop in here and see whether ours are as good for less money, or better for the same prices that you have seen in men'.s clothes elsewhere.
