"The Live Store" "Always Reliable"
Distinctive Styles F° r G Dossers
t Waist seam suits are high in favor this season,
and well they should be, for the waist seam truly lends an air of
distinction to a coat. Waist seam suits have a pretty general appeal. They're
popular with the young business man, the professional and club man and the
lad of high school age. Any man who is discriminating is quick to appreciate
the smartness —with dignity—of the waist seam model.
