Something for Merchants to
Think About.

In many Of our towns there are those who de-
sire their clothing MADE TO ORDER, while at
the same time there are no custom tailors in
their vicinity upon whom they can rely for
proper styles, prices, etc.
To meet such demand, this branch of our
business has been expressly established, and
has been for many years in successful operation.
The very general satisfaction with which our
work has been received. enables us to guarantee
that, by adopting our method, you will be able
to build up good custom trade in your town
and vicinity, which, after fair trial, will be
both satisfactory to your custimers and profita-
BILE to yourself
Our garments fit and are comfortable to the
wearers. We are not at all in sympathy with
the too prevailing idea that ANYTHING WILL DO
for what is termed COUNTRY ORDERS. Our line
of samples represents the best makes of foreign
and domestic manufactures, and, together with
trimmings. workmanship, etc, our work can be
relied upon as being superior to that of most of
our competitors
We keep no ready made clothing whatever,
neither do we employ cheap STOCK CUTTERS, but
on the contrary, all garments are cut and made
expressly to your orders, by the best custom cut
tiers attainable, and under our personal super
vision.
We desire to place our line of samples with
some good house in every town where such a
field exists, and for this purpose invite CORE
spoedence from all responsible houses desiring
line of samples.
