BOYS CLOTHING.

We have good reason to believe that
the BOYS would rather get their clothes
from Us than from any other house in
town. We make study Of their wants
and try to please them. They like our
clothes because they are stylish. neat.
and good. They want them because
they fit better end look better than
clothes worn by boys who do not get
them HERE.
The mothers like them, TOO, and not
without cause. There's wear and services
woven in every suit We sell. No ripping
in the seams and no popping OFF Of tho
buttons. They like orr prices. They
show them TO be lower than at any other
store in town.
SCHOOL SUITS that win wear like
leather, $3.50, 81, and $3.50. No better
value ever offered than In these lines.
Made OF materials which are easily kept
clean, will hold their color, and will
stand the rough. hard wear to which
boys subject them. They're the kind OF
suits boys should have.
FINE, DRESSY, and HANDSOME
LY-MADE SUITS in large variety.
Our BETTER STYLES. our BET
TER FABRICS, our BETTER TAIL
ORING, and our reasonable prices bold
the trade OF oil who know them. You
who have never bought them would
thoroughly appreciate what a difference
there Is between the ordinary kinds and
the kind WE sell. Suits for all sizes and
ages-2l to l6-suits for the tall boys
and suits for the stout boys ANY style
you want. You get honest value whether
you buy a 81 or $40 one. Look through
the variety, look at the workmanship,
consider the price.
You'll not be satisfied unless your boy
has one.
BASEBALL OUTFIT with each suit.
