In addition to regular stouts, short stouts and long stouts, which are carried to some ex tent by most all stores, you also find here forward stouts for stoop should ered stout men, and semi-stouts for in between men. .. , tJiJ „ Our stouts are not merely regulars made bigger - - round, as some are, but are scien tifically designed as stouts and skil fully tailored as such. They serve to conceal, rather than accentuate, a man's stoutness. They're not confined to sombre patterns and ultracon servative models either, but exhibit every up-to-date idea that may appro priately be incorporated in a stout H man's suit.
