A Short Talk
About White Shirts.

When a shirt does not fit it is one
of the most uncomfortable things in
the world. A shirt too small or too
large in the body or neck, or with
sleeves too short or too long. is
Stunned by all men who appreciate
comfort.
We sell shirts that FIT.
Years of experience, and the care
full noting of suggestions received
from cur customers. have taught US
what is wanted. Our shirts are made
to order in just the way we dictate.
and by a factory that has a national
reputation for the excellence of its
output.
What we have said applies to all
our shirts-whether low or high in
price-the same care is exercised in
their selection.
Our White Dress Shirts are car
ried in sleeve lengths 30 to 80 inches
the bodies carefully cut and pro-
portioned: the material is the very
best that can be furnished I'm the
several grades.
The shirt at 81 25 we consider cam
not be improved upon. Ii is made
of the best materials and In the
very best maner. y more satisfac-
tory or a better fitting shirt II
would be difficult TO find
At zoe and 81 we have other grades
of White Shirts, the difference in
price being the difference in the
linen and muslin used
We specially invite men who be-
lieve they cannot be fitted in any
but custom made shirts to look into
this matter. If. however, there are
those who insist on shirts to order.
We can serve them in that respect
also. and at only a slight advance
on our regular prices.
