,Are uou wearing our
Style of Overcoat this
season? '
You've probably noticed the number of
Stylish Overcoats worn this season. If you
should inquire of the wearers we have no
doubt you would find the greater number
with our label under the collar. Some, of
course, still patronize the custom tailors
it's a habit that hangs to some men longer
than others. But we are convinced by our
increasing patronage that the superiority of
our 'Ready-to-Wear Clothes has favorably
impressed the particular man. Patience
excellence. For thirty-two years we have
constantly studied this problem,' step by step we have
raised our standard, and we believe that once you are
convinced of our better method of designing and con
structing Ready-to-Wear Clothes, we can count' on
your patronage for all time. Why can't we convince
you now with an Overcoat? Our prices are (fA
consistent with cloth quality. If you want one for P1"

same rule applies to others up to...
