thing like Tuesdays, you'll be ready, too
We choose jackets as we do suits and
costumes, that is, by process of emina-
ton that leaves us only with the best. We
have no hesitation whatever in admitting to
you that we look at style and finish before
we look at cost. The price-mark will ad-
just itself, the designing and the cutting
and the fitting will not.
This is not to say, of course, that our
prices are high. Look, for example at the
Jacket that we sell at 81. so and soc if you
ever saw anything better worth the money.
And that is true all the way up. But we
PICK first, and we pick for goodness and
exclusveness and stylishness instead OF
cheapness. Our mercantile methods and
opportunities will take care of the cheap
ness.
You will like these jackets. Look at
these for examples
