Do Not Let Your Chances Like Sunbeams
 Pass You By

Pass You By.
 There are men engaged in business who like some boys at school never make much headway; they seem to be satisfied to crawl along in the old ruts made twenty years ago; there are others again ambitious enough but lacking in that something that brings success. Hirsh, the popular clothing man of Waterbury, has come to stay; he has served over 2000 customers in six weeks, and hundreds are coming daily recom- mended by others who have bought their clothing of Hirsh, the popular clothier. For price, style and quality we will not be undersold. Our motto: One good word from a customer is the best advertisement. Give us a call; you will find us the cheapest and most reliable clothing house to deal with in the state of Connecticut; satisfac- tion guaranteed or money refunded.
