The world is waking from its long winter sleep.
The sun has crossed the line.
The robins are beginning to sing and bright skies and bright eyes are everywhere.
This is a glorious Spring for us. It does a man's heart good to have life customers return,
grasp his hand with warm congratulations, and declare you have saved him from $10.00 to $26.00 on
his Spring suit.
Millionaires have been our customers here. Men who have always paid from two to three times
the price we charge, but when they see our stylish fitting, see our perfect tailoring, examine our pure
beautiful woolens, they are flocking to us by hundreds.
Only one price, remember, but five hundred kinds of goods to select frbm. Beautifully made
to your measure made just like a $30 suit. You'll be proud of it. Come and get some samples.
