The Washington critic., 1888-08-10

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, we began the in
auguration of our Grand Semi-Annua Mid
Summer Sale of Mems Shirts.
We control the products of one of the largest
Shirt factories in the world for the city of Wash
iugton, which means the shirts sold by us are
not to be had elsewhere in this city.
To the casual observer all shirts look alike; to
the experienced eye all shirts are different; and
in view of this fact we ask your.most critical ex
animation of the various fine points and little
details In manufacture, wherein we claim our
shirts TO be superior to any Others at the same
price. For instance, every extra costs extra,
and there may be 500 different makers and
qualities Of 50-cent shirts costing all the way
from S3 to $3.50 per dozen at wholesale, and
the retailer takes his choice. We aim to get the
best shirt possible to make to sell at a given
price, rather than see how cheap 50cent shirt
we can buy.
We give herein an as minute descriptions of
our shirts as possible, believing that You appre-
ciate the fact that IL is just such seemingly un-
important points that make one thing better
| than another.
