s.The salesman who sold me that suit
5ae says to me: If you We been having
your clothes made to order your tailor
has lost a customer. We cut our goods
by scientific methods and according tG
the latest styles. All you've gotto do is
to come and make. your seleetlon-aIsg
number Of patterns to choose fro1l-aI1y
sort of material; and when you've picked
out the suit you want all you We got to
do Is to retire to=the little dressing
and put it on. You can see for yourself
n the mirror II it fits you. You don't
nave to take nobody's word for nothing.
If you don't like It You step sack into
the little dressing-rocm and take It of
again and no harm done. II you're sat
listed you can keep iton and walk of ii
it. You amt promised the suit by
certain day and then pnfoff and finally
have it come just. when you've got tG
month after with alterations. You ain
because they don flook the
way you thought they. were going to-
which q taiIor-made-to- suit never
does. You get the full effect atthe jump
off. And. another thing. you save hall
your money. That's what the salesman
said. amt giving 1t ont as my own
opinion but that's Just what he said
And It sounds kind O. sensible, too"
If you believe all Eeu hear you Il make
trouble for yourself = said the tailor
You come around 4 month from now
and tell me what you think about It
Suppose I think its all right what
the man said ~
T won't have much opinion of your
