ton. The first we sell, three pieces,
for $35. 1t is solid walnut, marble
top, nicely finished and well made.
1t is not the cheapest suit in the
markets. far as price is concerned
but for workmanship, finish and
size it is the best value for the money
we ever had.
The second is larger every way,
with more work on it and has Ten

and will compare favorably with any
$50 or $55 suit in the market.
