Every Man Who Puts
His Life Blood Into
His Work
does it occasionally because of times
and changing circumstances. But
now we are compelled to make a new
start oftener than once in a while or
only on the advent of a new year.
We believe that this Store has a
mission in the world.
Therefore we must set about
accomplishing it.
The close of the war and the new
order of things facing the United
States, the readjustments of com
merce, finance, shipping and labor,
and the re-establishment of manu
facturing require deep and broad
study and immediate treatment.
We are in many ways specially
favored because the manufacturers,
the world around, with whom we
have dealt for over a half century,
count on us for the quantity of
merchandise for which we have the
outlet in Philadelphia and New York.
We are' anxious to extend our
influence and to have every home in
this city understand the advantages
we have, and our enterprise in new
channels to obtain merchandise, in
seeking and preserving the old rela
tions we. may have with the best
makers of everything, and in gather
ing at the earliest moment under our
roof a large share of home and
foreign products.

Without a doubt, we think this is the most

carefulness as to fit and finish.
Black, white and tan are the colors.; the gloves

This is just about half what such gloves would
sell for ordinarily.

A Fine Bit of News!
1 Chinese Potigee Suiting
Imported to Sell at $2
It is a well known fact that for the past four years
this fine hand-woven men's suiting has been costing a
dollar a yard more.
Now with this new importation a readjustment of
price has taken place and the old rating is restored.
Not everybody can or does appreciate this silk, but
discriminating men and women know its value for
tailored suits, dresses, wraps and negligees. It has no
rival for the combination qualities of wearing and
washing.
Also, it is more fashionable this Spring than ever I
before.

fine lace as well to make them prettier.

Dojj ' New Spring Suits
- With an Old Argument
The argument is that of good quality, especially
in the making.
The fabrics are sound. The making is the finest
we have yet seen in any ready-to-wear suits for boys.
It is, as an experienced clothing-mnkcr called it,
"superfine." It shows in almost even' detail of the
garment. This extra care and fineness in tailor work
means not onlv extra deoendableness in the wear, and
extra neatness in the fit. but it also means an extra
degree of beauty and distinctiveness in every suit.
The new Spring selections are large and varied.
For suits in sizes 8 to 18 years the prices are $20
to $30.

their shape through, all weather. jr
Many patterns at $3 and $4, the $4 hats being of
finest English tweed.
P. S. Men who wear small hats will like these.

We Want to Get All Men
to Bring Their Wits to
Bear Upon the Problem
of New Spring Clothes
It is remarkable how men, who bring all
their judgment to bear upon nearly all
other business dealings fr6m buying a cigar
, to investing in stocks, will show so little
business acumen when it comes to buying
clothes.
That this is perfectly tpie is proved by
the amount of inferior clothing always in
the market and by the demand there is
always for it.
It is not that men are absolutely in
different about what they are getting for
their money, but that so many of them are
inclined to be satisfied with clothing which,
to them, LOOKS all right they are satis
lied with surface qualities.
Scarcely any two things can be more
different than two suits of clothes made of
the same material and apparently in the
same style. The difference between them
can range anywhere from 5 to 100 per cent,
according to the amount and kind of tailor
ing and trimmings.
All the men's suits that we sell are
modeled and tailored according to one rule,
and that means as well as it is humanly
possible to have them.
Regarding the new Spring suits that we
are now showing we can say that it is not
practically possible under present condi
'tions for any store to have better-made or
finer-modeled suits to sell for the same
prices. Not only that, but, taking this
Spring selection as a whole, we doubt
whether there is any showing that really
equals it in the things that make for real
class and character in men's clothing,
especially in the style, hand-tailoring and
perfect finish of the garments.
This holds true of our suits for men of
all ages from the first-long-trouser suits
upward.
New Spring suits -$28 to $65.
New Spring overcoats $35 and upward.
