DEALERS in ready made clothing represent tlieir ware? as "Tailor made' "custom made" &c., but they ask the regular prices of ready made and ihe boast is understood. But when they offer Io take your measure, promise to have the clothes made for you and charge the tailors price, they impose apon your credulity. Whether their misrepresentation is wilful or negligent the result to you is the same, Most men want what they pay for and are willing to pay for the superior quality of made to measure clothes.
