OOON AAOlHluSy L dISOHJ you AIC
walking with cane now?
Yes, Farmer Wills. My boy who
will graduate in medicine next month
and the other, who will leave our high
school for the Annapolis Naval Acad-
emy, insisted that should give them
new suits. They informed me that
can have clothing made to order at
Horns, the Tailor, and out of i'm
ported goods, cheaper than l can pur-
chase them any where in this city. l
have decided to call on Mr.. Horn to-
day and see some of those goods that
| have heard so much talk about and
which are so much worn by the best
people in the town.
Now Parson, | must agree with you,
that Mr.. Horn has a finer class of
goods than any l have seen. Just
think of it. A frst-class suit of clothes
made to order for 5000, $500 and
s. 90, trousers for $3.45.
These clothes are made to fit. Yes,
sir, perfect fit.
Now, Farmer Wills, as we both
agree that Horn keeps the best and
cheapest goods, please accompany me
to his place to-day.
Not to-day, Parson?
| Yes, to-day. 1t makes no difference
with Horn, he can take your measure
to-day just as we'll as he can on Mon
day. He never disappoints, which is
one thing in his favor.
Farmer Wills: People want to con
vince me that Mr.. Horn can make ar
old man look young. l will go at once
to Horn or, as soon as my BEE come:
and have him to make one of my boys {
suit of clothes, also one for myself, anC
