purchase involving his comfort anu
satisfaction for the entire winter, per-
haps for two or more winters, needs to
post himself on the important subject
of Overoeats.
Perhaps we can help him.
First, then-What Is the fashion I
May DO you don't care ii rap" for
fashion. You want comfort first, dura-
billty next, and genteel appearance
always in q winter Overcoat. Then
we'll show you "rough-faced" Over
coats-blacks, blues or Oxfords-be-
ginning at s1S. The $50 and s26 coats
combine highest excellence with mod
erate cost. Remember that the closer
and firmcr the nap the more serviceable.
The fine, soft Elysian Beavers at S3V,
t3b and $40, especially the satin lined
ones, are delightful to the touch. Our
finest black Astrachan Montagnac, Of
new weave, is the height OF luxury;
$50. But don't expect hard service OF
such Overcoats the finer the wool the
quicker it chnfes off, and only man
who takes care of his clothes can wear
those fabrics with good results.
The toughest known Overceat fabric
is q fine, heavy Melton. "Carr's'
Meltons have worldwide reputation,
and the best of them are excellent.
They are seldom found i'll rea1y-made
clothing stocks too costly. We have
some of Carrs and some of other makes,
equally good; s35, s3S and $40, wool
lined one at $40 silk lined blacks,
Oxfords and blue mixtures. These
Oyercoats combine every essential OF
quality and workmanship to be found
in a perfect garment. They are practi.
cally tie best that money can produce.
The most fashionable Overcoat fab.
rio is O Kersey. Somewhat softer and
more dressy than o Melton, yet almost
if not quite rs durable. Rather flrmer
in texture than smooth Beaver, which
it closely resembles.
TO begin at the top, We make fifty
dollar drab Kersey Driving Coat that
is about such q garment rs custom
taiors ask scventy-fye to hundred
dollars for. The color is too light for
general service, and the demand too
light to require large stock; but we
make enough of these rare things to
serve whoever cares for them.
Our best black Kersey Overcoat is
double-breasted one; raw edges, lap
seams, and tailored to the top notch of
perfection; $40. At s35, other double
breasted ones of rich brown and blue
Kersey; the single-breasted of same
goods cost a couple OF dollars less. At
S33 we also have a very handsome
Drab Kersey, cut doublc-breasted.
Dropping in cost dollar or two at
each step, here are blacks, blues and
mixtures in fine Kerseys and smooth
Beavers at s32, $50 and $2S; single
and double breasted, made and trimmed
in q variety of ways, as your fancy
prefers.
While our trade on these finest Over
coats is large and steadily gaining
recruits from the ranks Of merchant
tailors' patrons, Our great business
centres on the grades OF Overcoats
next reached in the order of prices.
For the men who prefer to pay be-
tween $2j and go for an Overcoat,
we "put our best foot foremost Here
are all shades Of color and all sorts Of
fabrics - Kerseys, Smooth Beavers,
Meltons, Wide Diagonals, Friezes and
Oheviots cut single and double
breasted And not an Overcoat among
them that is not safe purchase. We
make it safe by agreeing to make good
any one of them that may possibly
ago wrong" while in your service.
Have we "cheapcr" Overcoats !
Yes, plenty of 'em; and other dearer
ones that we dare not mention lest we
weary you. :
At best O description conveys little
idea; the garment needs to be seen.
We shall not even speak OF listers
and Cape Overcouts. This ought to he
said, however, about cOlors and cut.
While black is quite rs fashionable as
ever, rich dark blues and browns ore
gaining popularity with men who have
worn black long enough to want q

glad to have you look at our Overcoats
regardless of any intention to purchase.
