Cent A January Event in Men's Custom Tailoring Shop About 1000 Yards of Fine Worsteds ) r r and Cheviots from Which Our Jf)40.5U Tailors Will Make Suits to Order) The Suitings are from our own stock and the sort from which we have been making Suits costing 10 per cent, to 30 per cent, more than this special price. The savings are actually much more than the foregoing would indicate, for early purchasing of Suitings, in large quantities, permitted us to set our original prices consider ably lower than the prevailing standard for custom-made garments. We believe there are a sufficient number of men already familiar with the exceptional quality of the work executed by our Custom Tailoring Staff to insure a speedy closing out of the 1000 yards of Suitings we have set aside for this event. There are fine unfinished Worsteds and Cheviots in grays, browns, greens and blues smart patterns. Of some of the patterns we can make an extra pair of Trou sers, if the customer so wishes. Of course, every detail of the work will be executed by our regular tailoring force. Come early if you can conveniently do so. - hlrawbrldua i. Clothier. Second lloor.
