A Cure
for Colds.

OF course you know when you are
cold; our chief concern is to have
you know how to relieve the chill.
Our Overcoats will do it, and it's a
very cold day when we can't show
you the most stylish and the best
finished ready-to-wcar Overcoats in
the market. Many prefer the rough
coats, and we have them-the prices
varying from 50 to $30-but if you
ask our Judgment in the matter, we
recommend the blue or black smooth
faced Kerscy Coats as being less
susceptible to wear and much more
easily frightened up when soiled
from wear or dust. The prices are
$40 to S35. Cloth lined, with satin
shoulders or full silk lined.
