A Short-Cut to the
Best Summer Suits
for Men
In the making of meri's suits there is no short-cut
to excellence.
Certain things are essential, and for these there
is no substitute. There is no substitute for the right
materials or for the necessary skill in handling them
or for the necessary will to make the best suit that
can possibly be made from them. But there is a short
cut to excellence in the buying of men's suits, and it
leads directly to the Wanamaker Men's Clothing Store.
Tho men who take it in quest of Summer suits are
not disappointed. They can't be. There are no better
Summer suits made than the kind we have to show
them. It is our fixed purpose always to have the best,
always to be identified with the finest qualities, never
to be identified with anything inferior.
Our prices are fair and aboveboard for suits and
garments of assured goodness. Suits in cool, fancy
mixed Summer woolens, $35 to $65.
Youths' suits in cool, fancy mixed Summer woolens,
$25 to $40.
