SOME Tuses You Do Know
AND SOME THAT YOU DON'T

THE BEST EVIDENCE that there are no
facilities in the manufacture of Clothing that we
do not enjoy Is PROVEN ny THE FACT that
Suits we sell. as well SIS the $40 ones, and the
same applies To the =, Trousers it does to the
ST. kinds. Hence, SO far as facilities GO we
unqueSjionablv possess them and in no small
way cither. our Manufacturing Department

ter than that used in $50 suits to order. The
Tailor who makes the coat of the SO suits,
when making a single garment so-called Gus

receives fifty or one hundred coats at a time.
Inc best hand about twenty-five cents more
thin where quantity is given at one time. and
me Irouser hand is paid the same way. To cut
the SUIT special costs fifty cents more. To trim
single suit may cost twenty-five cents more.

tlTer Is about dollar and seventy-five cents

ten-that the garments are not as well made as
Regular stock ones. simply because the persons
who make them work in teams and produce
quantities with uniformity which single gar
ntents never get. In trousers its the same story.
The kind We sell for $3.50 are about the same
II not better, than the So to order ones. You

be no less than five dollars where it is one. In
