Our $40 Royal Blue Serges'
the finest ever turned out.

1t doesn't make any difference
how particular a man is about his
clothes, he'll find Hechts' Royal
Serge suits" exactly to his lik-
ing. Royal Blue Serges" rep
resent all that is best in style,
workmanship and fine finish in
ready-to-wear clothing. The
best efforts of the most skilled
tailors in the country are plainly
evident in every line and stitch
of each garment. No exclusive
tailor, with his exorbitant
charges, ever turned out better
finished, more perfect fitting or
better tailored garments than
these.
And to prove that Our Troy
al Blue Serges" are infinitely
better in every respect than any
body else's $40 serges, we sent
to each of the leading clothiers
and purchased a specimen of each
ones serge suits-for comparison
with ours. We have taken each
suit apart-and the result is most
surprising, revealing as it did the
fact that our suits are not only
better made and fnished-but
that Royal Blue Serges" have
more than 800 stitches than any
other. That speaks eloquently
for the splendid care we have put
into our garments--and the wide
difference between them and all
the rest.
Every single one of our
Royal Blue Serges" bears the
marks of the most painstaking
tailoring. All buttonholes are
hand-sewed with silk-al1 coat
seams are satin piped-seams are
sewn with tape for additional
strength and wear-linings are
of the best Italian cloth-all
coats have hand-padded collars.
Come and take a look at the
window full. Better still, get a
closer view on the inside.
| Every man is freely extended
the privilege of having his pur-
chase charged paying
the bill as he pleases.
