The Hub claims to be the only manu-
facturer selling at retail on the coast
Located in a cummodious and we'll
lighted store on the corner Of Kearny
and Suffer streets, the firm, whose name
is Charles Keilus & Co., makes spe-
clalty of mems high-claSs clothing.
An immense stock of clothing in the
storeroom is kept entirely on the ground
floor, and the customers are not intro

ment. The firm has occupied its present
premises two years, and during the past
season has enlarged every department,
paying special attention to furnishing
goods, ne,kwear of the best grades, hats
and underwear.

ner and manager. has resided in San
Francisco fifteen years, and with TWEEN
live years experience is one OF the
most expert ClOthiers in the country.

garments has won him a wide reDuta-
ton. lie is a well-infOrmel and pIO-
Rressive clother, keeping thoroughly
abreast Of the times.
There are several reasons for the
immense increase in the sale Of ready
made clothing" said Mr. Keilus yester-
day. First, clothing is now made better
than at any prior period second, we can
ut better than nine.tenths of the mer-
chant tailOrs; third, the satisfaction of
the buyer, who sees garment completed
and is thoroughly satisfied with the style
and fit before purchasing; fourth. the
immense advantage We ourselves enjoy
In manufacturing our own stock.
I'VE consume annually $4,000, 900 In
raw material, buying directly from the
largest mills and manufactures of both
hemlspheTcS. The fact Of being such
Immense consumers enables us TO oh
tain the right price, and we cater to our
patrons and not 10 wholesale dealers.
Many stores buy from wholesale men,
and So the price makes the sale, but we
manufacture for our store, and, know
ing how and of what our goods are
made, we know how to sell at the low
est rate, allowing ourselves a small
profit. It's this feature which has made
The Hub one Of the grandest clothing
successes in the United States"
