The trials and triumphs Of our late war,

There IS 4 place IN Phiis-
delphia where a stranger
may buy his clothes, and
fare as well as if he knew
the whole city by heart; and
if he knows nothing about
the value Of cloths, or of
clothes, he is as well off, as
if he we're a good judge Of
both.
The reason is that every
thing to be found there is
made there-made and sold
under a system which rarely
allows mistakes to occur, and
which corrects them, if they
do occur. M
OAK HALL is the place;
and its practice may be
summed up in a few words.
If you get there what you
don't want to keep at the
price, you return it, and get
your money back.
This means a great, deal
more than appears on the
surface. 1t means that you
are not going to get what
you will not WANT to keep at
the price, if the merchant can
help it. 1t means that the
clothes you get there will be
of honest cloths, honestly
made; and that they will
cost you less than as good
clothes can be got for else
where. 1t means that they
will be every way better
worth your money than you
can get elsewhere for the
same money.
If it means anything less
than these things--ifitmeans
poor cloths, trimmings, cut
ting, sewing, or in any way
dishonest or Liberal dealing;
the return Of his goods will
plague the merchant, injure
his credit, and dissipate his
trade.
If it means these things
if it means liberal and honor
able dealing, valuable and
trusty clothing; ease and
safetyin getting it, OAK HALL
is the place for you to go to,
or to send to; and it is worth
your while to know how you
can send, if tits inconvenient
to go.
Write say what your
occupation is say what
sort of use you intend to
make of the clothes you
want, whether for everyday
wear or otherwise; what
color you prefer, or what
color to avoid; say about
what you want to pay say
everything that you think
may aid a stranger in
choosing for you. You
will get in reply samples
Of cloths and prices Of what
ever you want made from
those cloths. You, will get
also the means Of having
your measure taken by an
unskilful person.
There is only one diff
Guilty left. Somebody has
got to take the risks of the
dealing; for there are risks.
/ Send your money along
with your order. That
covers the risk as to your
good faith. We risk every
thing else; the fit, and
your satisfaction every way.
Our trade by mail
amounts to half a million
dollars a year; there's no
reason why it shouldn't
amount to FIVE millions.
