For Men
who are .
"miles around"
we have
many Suits to
choose from
at Perry's!
Somebody said to us
not long ago "Big
men must like you
people, for 1 never saw
so m any h ea vy- weigh ts
buying suits all at
once as you have right
here."
And we were forced
to notice the fact our
selves a fact that we
were' rather used to
namely, seeing several
big men getting fitted
in forty-fours to fifty
fours without the
slightest difficulty.
The real feature of
our large and extra
large sizes is that we
pay as much attention
to their lines as we do
to the so-called regular
sizes.
CJWe draft them and
cut them to produce the
effect of symmetry and
of proportion, with the
result that we make a
man look a size or two
slimmer than he really
is.
Another thing. We
cut our large and extra
large sizes in a variety
of patterns, for a big
man ought to have a
chance to show his
taste as much as any
other man.
And that applies to
our entire stock of
Summer Suits to trop
ical and to feather
weight fabrics as well
as to woolens and
worsteds.
