business world in general.
The President is doing well and we

It is always a mistake to be hasty in
spending money.
The people must think, wait and
watch.
The wheels are just beginning to go
around.
Every week will bring new
developments.
Spasms are not healthy for nations
or families.
We have lots of our kind of goods to
sell, which could not be replaced for our
customers this year.
We are taking in many goods and
are looking for still lower prices.

Only the Best Tropical
Suits for Men Are
Good Enough
"Palm Beach" suits and mohair suits can be had at
various pricespme of them seemingly very low prices,
and somehoviere are men to wear them.
Probably these men have yet to learn that for
tropical suits to look well the materials have to be the
best of their kind and the tailoring fine to a particular
degree Tropical suits of an inferior kind will neither
fit, nor serve, nor wear.
The quickest and most convincing way for any man
to see the difference between the tropical suits that givs
men a maximum of service and cool comfort without
spoiling their lines and the "tropical suits" that keep
men cool and make them look ridiculous is to come in
here and see the finest tropical suits made and then
see any other supposedly "cheaper" ones.
For tropical suits that fit and serve and hold their
good lines our prices could not regularly be lower.
Palm Beach suits, $20 and
$22.50.
Mohair suits, $25 to $30.
Tropical worsted suits, $32
