Princeton and Colum- ,',bia College man, he studied law in Philadel phia with his uncle, Edmund Randolph, then Attorney General of the United States. He was descended from Pocahontas, the .beautiful and beloved ..'daughter of the Indian Chief of the Powhatans. He took his seat in Congress in 1799 and served there for nearly 30 years, an intimate friend of President .'( Jackson, who appointed him minister to Russia. He died in Philadelphia in 1833. He was a great speaker and crossed swords at times with Patrick Henry. , ' " The dignity of his presence, set forth by his portrait, was greatly enhanced by the old-time fashions of our fathers. Some of the present-day fashions of men's and women's dress have not improved upon the simplicity and distinguishing dress of the olden time.

(Main Floor, (lirnut) There Is Only One True Way to Judge a Men's Clothing Store and that is by the things it can do for you. This Men's Clothing Store can show you the best .Summer suits to be had for their prices in Philadelphia. It may be that you are accustomed to reading statements of that kind and that you have come to regard them as theories. Our purpose is not to express a theory anybody can do that but to slate a fact, an actual condition The condition is based on very reasonable grounds. There can be no better suits than ours in this city, because it is a known and demonstrable fact that no better fabrics are used in making men's ready-to-wear suits to sell for the same prices; also because no ready-to-wear suits at any prices are modeled, made and finished witli a finer degree of care, skill and deliberate determination to give a man something more in fashion and service than he can obtain elsewhere. With this clothing store it is a principle and a practice to give men the most they can possibly obtain, believing as we do that the practice of this principle is lo our own advantage, as well as theirs. The point of it all is that in this store a man can never get less than the best he can get anywhere, no matter how much he may be able to get elsewhere. Let these men's Summer suits at $28 to $G5 be the test. (ihlnl I loor.
