This system of tailoring and cutting has
proved to many that the custom tailor's
(''singe suit'') method is behind the times.
The up.to-date man wants his clothes quick,
and he wants them with style right up to the
minute. The 'Atterbury' System gives
you all this. The method of display in our
''Atterbury'' show room gives you the op-
portunity to select just the right cloth pat
tern. You see before you 100 different pat
terms at one time. It's without doubt the
most convenient and attractive display of
Gentlemen's Clothes in this or any other city.
Sooner or later you will wear clothes made
by the "Atterbury'' System. 1--WE want
you to wear them now"
