Splendidly Ready With the New Fashion
"Brother Jonathan"
can be traced back to the time of .George
Washington, when Jonathan Trumbull, the
elder, was Governor of the State of'
Connecticut.
In the discussions of ways and means to
provide ammunition, clothes and shoes for the
r rs ?f the Revolutionary Army, General
Washington, because of great confidence in
Governor Trumbull, was heard to say
frequently: "We will consult Brother
Jonathan."
. He so often in extremities helped to supply
the necessities of the Army, and aided in
overcoming difficulties, that Washington's
words became a by-phrase all over the country:
"We will have to consult Brother Jonathan."
"Oh! for some big-souled, high chief like
Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, John
Adams, Jonathan Trumbull, to guide the
Nation now!

"In March many weathers," says the old adage,

To our knowledge there are no better Spring

those our Men's Clothing Store is now showing in
such ample variety at $45 to $75. Our belief in them
is not a matter of opinion, but of conviction, convic

standard woolens, the styles the standard of fashion
