A Lesson In
 Men s Clothing

Here is what the ''Clothier and Fur nisher"-the best authority in the country on mems ciothing-has to say in its \ April issue:
 "The general pros \ porous condition of the country in all branches of business has caused a great d. mlnd for all kinds oi highclass cloth ing. There is but little sale for the cheaper grades. a development which has been gradual 'or several years. Man ufacturers of clothing have been quick to take advantage ot this fea- lure of the business, and as a result the gar ments that are now be- ing manufactured rep recent the highest per- lection possible. The suits and trousers are we'll made, stylish Tn appearance and will give the wearer satis- faction in their wearing qualities, and are the equal in many respects fl not the superior, of the tailor-made, as turned out by any ex- cept the highest grade metropolitan tailors. '' This corroborates our assertion  by the best authority in the United States.
