Tomorrow may be another day of "cats, dogs and pitchforks," or it may be atmospherically glorious. In either case a man must have the proper kind of Summer suit, and that is why we want to talk to him about it. We want to say to him in particular that we have a good assortment to show him, both in cool, thin woolen fabrics and in "Palm Beach," mohair and other tropi-' cal materials. We want him to understand that all our Summer suits have been tailored with the extra degree of care which the lightness of the fabrics demands, and that they are cut on the most correct lines and priced on ihe fairest basis for all concerned. To most men, of course, this is not news. But it means so much to every man that it is no harm to keep them constantly reminded of it, especially considering how easy it is for men to go thoughtlessly and pay out money for suits of inferior kinds, of which now as always there are too many to be had. Men who mean to have the superior kind will find them here. Mohair, "Palm Beach" and breezeweave suits at $18 to $35. Light weight chev " int and worsted suits $35 to $65.

In store-keeping, great things develop fro m serving people with goods that are "built to last."
