What is a man without a shirt-the
emblem of civilization, Of decency and re-
spectability? Absolutely nobody. A
~well-6tting and a clean shirt is an
essential to his self respect. All admit
this without argument. Then the in
quiry becomes pertinent, where can a
Well-itting shirt be had? In Memphis,
at Hezekiah's, ON Jefferson street, near
Second. He makes a fit in every in
stance, and guarantees all his work. This
manufacture of shirts is a new feature in
this city and ought to be patronized. Call
at Hezekiah's at once, If you want to be
in the fashion, aud have a decent looking,
nicely fitting shirt.
