and Sherry Wine.
j This preparation is fatnon* a« a
; system builder and general tonic. Onr
I preparation differs from all others of

to take and prompt in action, making
rich, red blood.
Do You Require a Tonic?

The Little Details
are what go to make merchant tailoring
so much better than ready made cloth
ing. Such thioes as the button holes,
the sowing on of buttons, the binding,
the pressing and many other things.
They all make for
PERFECT CLOTHING.
Now that you have experienced all
the advantages and disadvantages of
the ready made, you will be better able
to appreciate the difference in our
work. Just order a suit or overcoat
and learn how great it is.

we are entitled to that; bnt to be selling at less than cost most f
\ every day in the year, as some advertise is, keep your eye open, j
( something is wrong. You are not getting value for your money C
1 or you are getting unseasonable merchandise. We do not ad- 2
J vertise a sale at all times but we do exchange with von for your \

f buy. We sell reliable makes only—bought from firms that J
i stand back of and replace every dollar's worth of merchandise \
