With pneumonia prevalent every where this month, 1t behooves every man to shield himself from the effects ofllwet, windy weather. The posses sion of good raincoat insures keeping dry and warm. The large and increas- ing demand for this indispensable gar ment has led Meigs & Go. of Bridge port to produce genuine cravenette raincoats that are tailored in the same fashionable and thorough manner as their smart overcoats. This firm is now showing most complete array of raincoats with wide shoulders, close fitting collars, vent in back and regu- lation overcoat pockets, which suggest nothing but swagger overcoats and are alike suitable for wet weather and dry. Meigs & Co. invite special attention to a line of fine cravenettes at S15, which are shand-tallored throughout, warranted all wool, and are the most satisfactory garments of the kind yet produced at a modest price. Spring hats, shoes and furnishings are ready at the big store at the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue, and spring suits and overcoats will be tempted into view with the advent of real spring days.
