A London tailor's die
rtum was that he could
take a meal sack and
make a suit of clothes
worthy of a gentleman's
wearing if the fit was
right. Gentlemen have
fancies in dressing. One
goes for something snowy,
another expressly calls for
a special weave, and so on.
But the particular points
of a suit are fit and style.
Material and make may
be ever so good, but con-
demnation will be swift if
there be failure in fit and
style. In these two points
our stock of suits for busi-
ness and everyday wear
fulfills the highest ideals
of dress, with due atten-
tion given to propriety of
fabrics and perfectness of
making, and, above, all,
with the wit of the cloth
ier-his ha ndiw or k
shining at it's brightest,
in the tone of fashion
reigning in them, impalp-
ably, distinctly stamping
them as stylish and fault
less in fit. We eXtol these
less highly than a gentle
man would in examining
them. They are ready
made, and at prices of
ready made. You'll. be
likely to think them above
the average of custom
work when you see them.
