Many man is made by his tailor, and
probably just aSmany are ruined in APP
pearance by the clothing they wear.
Lots Of people think it is economy 70 go
to some obscure shop and buy for a-song
a suit that never looks good and that was
never intended to dd0rR anybody. Simon
Mitchell is working hard to reform this
mistaken taste by keeping a beautiful
line Of tailor-fitting Clothing for Gents,
Youths and Boys at their lowest possible
value. There is a good deal Of character
in clothln4 and it goes a good way in
forming the character Of the wearer.
Bring a boy up i'll the habit of wearing
aBythiRq that will just about divide
nakedness from decency and he is apt to
make a man of loose and careless habits.
The boy or man trhO is particular about
the clothing he wears will generally prove
a good citizen. My Spring and Summer
Stock is the finest and largest in variety
ever shown in Savannah, and prices are
within the pocket Of every one. Sign Of
