Particular People

A London tailor's die
tum 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 forsomething 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
fulflls the highest ideals
of dress, with due atten-
ton given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfectness of
making, and, above all,
with the wit of the cloth

them. They are ready
made, and at prices of
