The Man who needs
aBank Book.

You've heard of farmers selling their crops as
they stood. No harvesting to pay. No barn-work
to consider You'd take less price for the certain,
quick easy sale, and the cash in hand, wouldn't you?
That's what many mill does with us We buy
snap up the advantage, and share with you.
A man who buys Overcoat and Suit from us for
this long winters service turns many dollar back
into his pocket.
He'd better get a bank book and keep count of
his savngs-and keep on buying at Oak Hall.
Twelve Dollar Overcoat for ten-thats nothing.
Any and every time-were that much under regular
price.
You'll find it Five Dollar saving on a Twenty
Dollar one.
And yet, we pay for better trimmings, better
work, more style in our suits, in our Overcoats.
We make the best ready-made Clothing there is
and still sell it for the lowest prices.
We are manufacturers-that's the whole secret.
Most stores buy the clothes they sell. We don't

HINTS TO LETTER WRITERS.


0easlble Suggestions for An Wh0 Cor.
respoad.
Do write with black ink. Il Is al.
ways fashionable aud in good taste.
Colored inks are not refined. and the
best writers do not use them.
Do use unruled paper. Everyone
should be able to write without lines,
which are commonplace and not in
fashion. 4
DO send . neat note. free from blots
and blurS The impression made by
the note upon the reader depends al
most il not quite as much upon the ap.
pcarance as upon the contents
Do spell correctly. A note full Of
mis-spelled words is inexcusable.
Do write in legible, plain hand. A
fair, round hand is always agreeable,
and wins the favor of the reader Of the
note or manuscript.
Do answer invitations in the third
person, If they were SO written. Make
your response brief, pointed. courteous,
and intelligent. II is very amusing "a
read tfe long letters which are often
sent in reply to formal invitation.
DO use the same person throughout.
II you begin to write in the third per.
son keep that form, and not finish by
saying: 81 am sorry, but have an.
other engagement"
Do take time in writing your notes.
Make complete and graceful sentences
and edeavor to write as pretty" note
as possible. Know what you desire "a
say, and then say it in = pointed but
complete way. avoiding wordincss.
DO Be honest in letter writing. Ex.
aggerations and careless words are
bad enough when spoken, but are In
excusable when written.
DO give to all people their proper
titles. Nearly all titles may be ab.
breviated.
Don't use note paper of deep tints.
If colored paper is use d At all the pale
tints are considered in much better
taste. cream being tho favorite.
Don't adopt ''fads" or affectations in
handwriting. A natural. plain writ

sirable and in style.
Don't head a polite note with the

Don't use numerals, as 9, 9, 10. but
always write out the words six, eight,

Don't write the family history on q

anything but q general announcement
on . postal card has . right TO feel

Don't write o love letter to . person
