A Quiz
for Men:

IF ready-lnade clothing fits
4 just as we'll as made to
measure-why do men who
look we'll dressed always wear
made to measure clothing ?
If made to measure cloth
ing costs only a trlhe more
than ready made, why isn't
the fine appearance, the bet
ter cloth, the lasting qualities
worth a dollar or two more J?
Doesn't every man know a
ready made suit when he
spots it.
Then if the made to meas
ure is SO much more to be
preferred, why don't you get
one instead Of the other ?
You don't believe we can
do it for SIS or $40 or so.
Is that it +?
Or do you think a dry
goods srore can't do this
work ?
There is scarcely anything
a dry goods store isn't doing
to day better than Individual
stores. We must offer better
than small stores or we could
not overcome the little preju-
dice. It's worth while to con-
slider this.
