Clothing for the Million

The chief attraction at present is the
mammoth display of gentlemen's cloth
ing at MIR. l.. Wolfson's White Elephant
clothing emporium on Main plaza. 1t is
not saying too much that every gentle
man In the state could be furnished with
a suit of clothes and then there would be
plenty left for COW boys; and these are
fastidious, too. The fact Is, Wolfson
keeps himself supplied from first class
manufactures only and hence can supply
the demand for asuperior article for less
money than it can be procured anywhere
else. Thin and light fabrics in colors
and black are at present exhibited, and
owing to the heated term have big
run; seersucker, alpaca, light merino and
a large number of fine materials can be
had in suits or separate pieces. Dress
and wedding suits in the various grades
Of fine quality in texture and make up
to the finest "doeskin" and imported
broadclOth are among the specialties in
the immense stock now displayed. There
Ia no excuse for anyone to go ragged or
badly dressed while WolfsOn holds out
inducements in low figures for dress
goods and ready-made suits by the car
load and enough to clothe every gentle
man In the state. 7-12-tf
