In the twenty years which Mr.. Young
has devoted to merchant tailoring, he
has developed a system of cutting and
fitting garments that allows them to con-
form to the figure Of the wearer in har.
monious proportions, and insures per-
fectly fitting and satisfactory garment.
To this system Of cutting and fitting
perfectly fitting clothing, Mr.. Young has
brought the genius of an artist who
after making tho usual measurements of
tailor, poses his patron for mental
calculation not reached by mechanical
measurement, As the sculptor noulds
and chisels the statue, giving character
and life to the form he is to represent, SO
Mr.. Young shapes every garment to the

painter once celebrated for the delicacy
OF his coloring who, when asked how he
mixed his colors, made tho curt but
significant reply, with BRAINS"

third, the climate, tastes and needs of the
community are taken into consideration
when making purchases of stock; fourth,
all customers are treated with uniform
courtesy; fifth, tho value of each pur-
chase is guaranteed to be just as repres-

Mr.. Hull, the resident manager of the

has the quick, nervous energy that makes
all things hum and has this business
hustling along the line of profitable re-

more conservative clothing dealers.
