Mems Clothing.
Your Money Back II You Are Not Suited.

Brooklyn has long demanded a thoroughly equipped Mems Ready
to-wear' Clothing Store. We mean 4 store devoted 10 the best quality
of clothing only, where merit must take first place in contradistincton
TO so-cared cheapneSs. In fact, a store having the reputation and genuine
facilities of the best exclusive clothier of New York, We have long con.
templated the opening OF such a department., but deferred doing so until
we could unmisakably control the proper clothing.
We now have a thoroughly equipped Mems Clothing Store. 1t
really means a Mems Ready-o-wear Clothing Store from which you may
derive every individual advantage that it is possible to derive from the
best exclusive cother in New York.
n Guarantee of the best fashions, Of the best fits, Of the best
cloths, OF the best assortment, OF the best satisfaction is assured from the
first, because the name Of the makers alone is a synonym OF perfect
clothing in this country. Any man whether he is abnormany stout or
abnormaly thin can be fitted with accuracy.
Quality. The clothing is the best only, quite different from that
ordinarily sold II a Dry Goods Store. Not made TO sell in competition
with the socaled cheap, but really worthy garments, which have lasting
merit and NAV be returned il not in every way satisfactory.
Price Advantage. We can afford to sell at a closer margin OF
profit than the exclusive clothier because our other departments (being
busy during the clothier'S dull season. maintain the expenses. A mate
rial saving to you in cost therefore is one answer to a natural question,
4" What advantage TO buy in a Dry Goods Store?"
Made-tO-Order. Proitng by past experience, our Merchant
Tailoring Department has been entirely reorganized with far better cut
tiers and talorS than we have had. Every facility TO give you Tar superior
fit and finish than anything heretofore.
Location. Conveniently situated on the Second Floor, near fast
running elevators, light, roomy and exclusive. We are sure 10 interest
you, and especially as il is a new departure in Brooklyn.
