Real Excellence Is Not
Generally Found From
Egotistical Advertisements
Good qualities will always be discoverable, like
violets along the country streams, with their little
blue eyes, from their perfume. Nettles grow high,
and much spread out, and have a blustering way
about them as well as a stickery sting.
Now in the sixtieth year (at the close of this
month) if there is anything in this Store that
approaches perfection, the people who know us well
find it out for themselves without our parading it.
All we know for sure is that we ar,e far from
being perfect, and that we shall never cease to strive
for the best, and that we shall never play fast and
loose.

That is what silk merchants who travel all over the United

out by making the comparisons themselves.
Our shirting silks are all-silk (except a new silk-and-paper
experiment -we are trying out). The variety, for this time of silk
scarcity, is truly remarkable and the different grades arc priced as
moderately as they are because we arc our own importers and this
saves considerably in tho cost.

HE men's new Spring suits and overcoats which we
are now showing are just such as we are proua to
be identified with especially at a time when
Spring clothing of a dubious, not to say meretricious,
quality is said to be so.plentiful.
There are Spring suits in which correct fashion is
only a veneer for bad materials or the worst kind of
making.
There are Spring suits in which good materials and
workmanship have been spoiled by a badly proportioned
cut or a bungling effort at a striking fashion effect.
On the other hand there are suits that combine the
best of -fashion with the best fabrics and tailor-work. In
men's clothing, no better combination can exist.
Spring suits and overcoats that represent it will be found
in the Wanamaker Men's Clothing Store in very attractive
selection.
They are as low-priced as the highest quality will permit.
They leave a man who wants the best no excuse for getting less.
Spring suits, $40 to $85.
Spring overcoats, $45 to $75.
