UNLAUNDERED
DRESS SHIRTS
AND
NIGHT SHIRTS.
wednesday, August 1. we began the insu-
gur.tion Of our Grand semi-Annual Mid.
Summer Sale of Mems Shirts.
We control the products Of one of the
largest Shirt Factories in the world, for the
city Of Washington. which means the shirts
sold BY us are not to be had elsewhere in the
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 examination Of the various fine
points and little details in manufacture,
wherein we claim our shirts to be superior
~ any others at the same price. For in
stance. every extra costs extra, and there
may be five hundred different makers, and
qualities of ffty-cent shirts costing all the
way from s3 to $3.50 per dozen at whole
sale. 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.

OF our shirts as possible. believing that you
appreciate the fact that it is just such SEEM
ingly unimportant points that make one

motions of the arm cannot interfere with the
fit Of the body Of the shirt, thereby relieving
all strain and wear at shoulders and elbows.

top to protect them against the wear Of sus-
pender seams IN outer Rarments.
