To the Young Fellow Just
Going, Into Business
This is a modest contribution, out of reminis
cences, for some who perhaps have no one to call
their attention to the very little things having a
bearing upon their new life, in the eye of the public,
which will note certain things that might wisely be
avoided.
For example, these suggestions out of the
purest good will
It might be better not to wear that big seal ring.
You don't need it, and with som3 people if will not
help you.
Nor to carry a cane to business. When you get
on after a while, you may wear two rings or carry
a walking cane in each hand, if you like.
Mr. Anthony J. Drexel and Mr. George W.
Childs always walked to their business, to the great
admiration of the young men of their time, while
they said they needed the outdoor execise.
Not to smoke onTthe way to business, would be
a suggestion worth thinking about:
The writer believes that a flashy waistcoat and
a huge heavy gold watch chain cAssing both sides
of the waistcoat and a big cigar, on the streets, had
much effect in. the undoing of a most attractive
young fellow who never got 6n.

Awnings for Rain!
Certainly; Why
Not?
"The one thing that mukes
mo neivous in Summer is the fear
of a sudden shower coming up and
ruining the furniture and mat
tings. With the awnings down'
it is perfectly safe to, leave the
windows open all the time, as
they should be."
Thus one customer explained
his reasons for ordering awnings.
Some people have an idea that
rain hurts an awning, but it
doesn't, any more than it hurts
an umbrella.
But whether you want nwnings
for sun or rain, now is tho time
to order them, not only that they
may be ready when wanted, but
for tho more important reason
that awning materials are scarce.
The mills haven't yet caught up
with the demand, and some peo
ple are likely to bo disappointed
later on.
We will gladly submit an esti
mate Df the cost.

Now Is the Time That Swings All Men
Face to Face With the Question of
New Spring Clothes
, One result of all the recent world-welter and misery is that from now
on sane men are going to enjoy the good things of life as never before. Not
that they are going to revel sane men don't do that; but they are going to
LIVE, to live in a newer and larger sense, because thtfre is no getting away
from the fact, which of late has been borne in upon the mind of humanity,
that life, after all, is very good.
Considering all that the world has lately come through, it is as natural
for a man to feel today that he wants to be well dressed to be better dressed,
in fact, than he has ever been as it is for the birds to glory in the bright
Spring sunshine.
Our wholestpcks of new Spring suits seem as if they-were specially
made for men who insist on being better dressed than they have ever been in
their lives.
That is nothing strange. If they fell short of it, they would bea dis
appointment to ourselves. All our energies and all our experience were con
centrated upon the task of providing suits of a distinctly finer kind than any
we have ever known. This is to say that we have accomplished our task.
The whole new Spring collection is remarkable, but the young men's
group is superb.
Prices for new Spring suits, $28 to $65; Spring overcoats, $35 and
upward.
