THERE is no man il the state, it is fair
to presume, who hears of the result of
conventions choosing delegates to the Fifth

WHEN INDICATIONS
THURSDAY-Rain or Snow: Colder.
WARM ING

The only thing in these advertisements that
cannot be relied on as entirely and strictly
true is the when Indications" Yesterday,
for example, these said decidedly cooler" 1t
wasn't.
The reason for this little unreliability is
that THE WHEN has no weather factory as
it has clothing factory, and hence it has to
take government weather.
If it could only make its own weather as it
does clothes our friends could be sure that the
weather would fit as perfectly as our clothing
does, and we pledge them here that we would
furnish that weather at one price below all
competition.
We could beat other dealers in weather, be-
cause they would have to get their weather of
the government at wholesale prices and then
retail it.
We, having our own weather factory, could
retail it at wholesale prices, just as we do our
clothing-just. for instance. as we do those
fine fitting four-button Cusaway Suits for
men.
