We control the products Of one of the largest
Shirt FACTORIES in the world for the city Of
Warrington, 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
animation Of the various fine points and little
details in manufacture, wherein claim our
shirts to be superior to any others at the same
price. For instance, every extra costs extra and
there may be five hundred different makers and
qualities Of fifty cent shirts costing all the way
from So 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 given
price. rather than see how cheap fifty cent
shirt we can buy.

ciate the fact that 1t is just such seemingly I'M
