The Tyfold Collar
 The picture shows how the collar is cut out on each side to allow for adjusting a neck tie without springing the col- lar open. The collar comes close together in front, it keeps the tie in place and you don't see the cut-out part. Besides the tie is retained just over the button, which is also kept out of sight. Your summer comfort will be increased if you wear one, and you'll thank us for the style. Dealers sell them.

to attend the dedicatory exercises Of
the Louisiana Purchase exposition:
IT have had no intention of going any
farther than st. Louis, and intend re-

been given out that Twas to go to the

California, and 1Sdon't know how many
other states and territories, and in
consequence. of this. 1 have received
numerous letters from good people

those who start such rumors, but it
produces reverse effect on those who
are made the victims of such an absurd
