Occur to you that the tailor who
allows his customers to take clothing
that does not fit does himself more
harm than the customer? 1t has
always appeared to us, and we are
probably often the more anxious OF

satisfied. Another great point with US
is that of working out orders on prompt
time, and by keeping such large force
as we have, we are enabled to make
suits almost any time within week
Have you ever taken look at our

So even If you do not order, as We
are DESTROYS that people should know
exactly the style of goods we keel
aud the kind of clothing we make.
