READY TO WEAR.

''Send that suit right out to the
house, said a Bridgeport citizen to
a salesman in Meigs & Co.'S store yes
terday morning; I'm going away this
afternoon sand I've got to have it,
Cant you give us little time to
press it?' inquired the salesman. At
ter the customer had gone, the sales
man turned to a reporter and said:
'Now that man is type of many men
who buy ready-tailOred clothes. He
comes in a great hurry and doesn't
give us an opportunity to put the
clothes in proper condition for him to
wear. Every suit or OvercOat ought
to be pressed before it is worn, and we
are always glad to do this for our Gus
TONERS and rather insist upon it.
Then quite often there are little alter
ations to be made which take time;
and although we keep several tailors
busy all the while on this sort Ct work,
it is not often wise to hurry alteration
work. Now that man who has just
left could have come in yesterday
morning just as well as this morning,
probably, which would have given US
time to put the suit in shape for him.
If people only would think ahead
little when they come to buy clothes
and allow little time for alterations
and pressing. it would be a good de al
be tier all around"

stance-without thinking of the great
good many sufferers from it have de-
rived from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose

most famous medicine in the world.
There is probably not a city, or town
