F REEL AND TRIBUNE. VOL. IX. NO. 39. Tailor-Made Clothes Are the proper kind for all men to wear. Why spend your money for ill fitting ready-made suits when the same amount will get you neat, stylish clothes, with the material and workmanship guaranteed? Refowich is the acknow ledged leader of tailor-made clothes, and he has hundreds of webs of cloth to choose from, not samples, but the real material. Call on him when you need a suit or overcoat. Prices at his establish ment are lower for tailor-made clothes than others charge for the product of New York sweat-shops. He Is Not Anybody's Agent. Remember that Refowich is a manu facturer, not Mr. Somebody's agent. When he takos your order the work is done right hero In Prceland. The money stays in town and is paid out to Free land men and women whom he employs. Don't think that agents can give you as much value for your money as he can. It is an impossibility. He manufactures cheaper than city merchants, and, hav ing no Commissions to pay, no large rent to pay, and no other unnecessary ex pense, he can and does give you more for your dollars than any other tailor. Patronize Home In dustries. Not because Refowich tells you, but because it is to your interest. If he can give you better clothing cheaper than an agent can, and your orders give em ployment to your friends who make clothes, is it not to your interest to patronize the home industry? Consider carefully before you send your money to some city sharper whom you never "saw and who cares not whether lie ever gets another order from you. Leave your measure with I.

Judge Holmes, of the supreme courtof Massachusetts, has dismissscd the hill in equity brought by Benjamin Cohen, of Baltimore, against the supreme coun cil of the American Legion of Honor.
