ments; let US know whether you
were very young or middle-aged,
that we might know how your
inches were built up-and the suit
we'd send would fit as well as the
tailor's suit at first trying-on. Bet.
ter, in all probability.
Now If you come for the clothes
it's better still, for we can do such
altering as the tailor would have to
do. In short. we can give you
really tailored clothes ready-made.
The popular price for dressy suits
mot full dress suits) is SIS. They
are such suits as almost any really
good tailor would charge $40 to $50
for. You see, it is vastly cheaper
to make clothing in lots-there is
economy of time. No waiting for
you to come and try the suit on
and talk it over.
The best suits are 500 to S25-
the difference is half and half
cloth and extra hand-work in the
tailoring.
The famous suit of the year at
this store is the all-Wool fancy or
