DRESSING RICHMoNDERs.

Richmond people have the reputation Of
being the best dressed body Of men IN the
country. The reason why they enjoy this
reputation is because of the superior class
Of taii0rs who make their clothes.
one of the best known OF these is John
T.. Ewig, whose establishment az 70 east
Main is one of the landmarks In the trade
| The business being established by the late
John C.. Shafer IN ls2 ana enjoying for
over a half century the proud distinction
of being the standard house, the name
of shafcr has been synonymous with fair
dealing frst-class materials, etc.
Mr. Ewig has discovered the secret
which many citizens have at times
thought would never be found, OF COM
biuing first class workmanship and first
class materials and selling the product
40 prices that appeal TO the pocket-book
of every man who cares 70 dress well.
Mr. Ewigs new departure enables him
10 supply the wants Of every one, as he
has suits as low as SIS tn his young mems
department. and in the old line he Is en-
abied by giving only short credits TO be
able TO sell at n much less profit than
others can do. who still cling 10 the old
theory Of charging exorbitant prices and
giving very long credits IL has been
said that the tailor's goose has the long
est bin OF all birds. but his goose IS not
that kind Of a bird.
He does not believe IN fancy prices. II
is now no longer necessary 70 buy clothes
out Of a drove and disigure yourself, but
YOU can now have all OF your little whims
catered TO without costing you a cent
more.
Mr.. Ewig in speaking OF his success
says: 1t has been my aim since 1 went
into business. some six years ago. 70 con-
