1.-THE SWGll0d Head. "

The above term, like "chest-
nuts" originated in the dramatic
profession, and ia thus applied
When a man becomes so puffsd
UP with sense of his own i'm
portance as to imagine the pub
lie is deeply interested in every
move he makes and every word
he utters, mon of well-balanced
minds quietly suggest "swelled
head" 1t generally develops
on mon of small physique and
l / m | t d intellect. "Swelled
heads" are to be found in vari-
Gus walks of life, even in the
clothing business, where they
really imagine you are COM-
PELLED to buy your raiment
from them and pay exorbitant
prices for the goods you pur-
chase-simply for the HONOR of
having their names on the clothes
you wear.
Now, there is nothing abnor-
NAL about the size of our crani-
ums-just mere common, ordi-
merry, everyday kind of heads.
We do not claim to have a mo-
nopoly of the honor, the integ-
rity, or the business of our city,
but we make the modest and
well-founded claim of having as
fine and well-selected a stock of
Clot hing for men and boys as
was ever exhibited in Washing
ton, and we sell them at prices
that a light expense account,
CO mbined with care and judg-
ment in buying, can alone enable
us to do.
This week especially we would
respectfully ask you to look in
our show windows, aud we are
much mistaken if the goods and
prices there exhibited will not
tempt you to invest in an over
coat, a suit, or a pair of trousers
for yourself or your boys. Our
goods, whether for man, youth,
boy, or child, are correct in cut,
faultless in make, ami perfect in
fit. Our prices are lower than
the lowest.

in Europe alone that this rich and rare wine is
