WHAT ADVERTISING WILL 90
Specially EXempliiied in the case
OF Harry Mitchell, Mime
aDoliS' Famous Tailor

1t would be difficult 10 find a better
exemplifcatiOn Of what good and per
sistent advertising will do for a man
with the goods back Of him than the
case of Harry Mitchell, Minneapolis,
popular tailor.
You will notice We said with the
goods back Of him. for there i. prob.
ably no tailor in the Twin Cities that
carries a quarter Of the stock that
Harry Mitchell does, and the fabrics
being purchased from the foremost
mills OF Ameria and Europe, the quail
ity is absolutely assured.
Five years ago Mr.. Mitchell wa con-
Quoting a tailor shop on the second
| floor Of a building in Chicago, making
a speciality of the finer class Of work.
He had been in this business for seven
years.
One day he woke up to the fact that
Minneapolis was a pretty. good kind
Of a town, and as the western fever
grew upon him ne decided to pull up
stakes and move his belongings here.
He started out in Minneapolis in a
small way-grOwing, growing, till to-
day he is one OF the largest tailOrs in
the United States.
His success is due entirely to the
fact that he is sC]rupulOusly honest
always giving q little more rather than
a little less in all his transactions.
He conducts his business on a strict
ly cash basis, and no matter who the
customer may be-banker or labOrer-
the goods must be paid for WREN de-
liveTed. This has been very potent
factor in the building up Of his busi-
ness, for there .are no bad accounts
standing ont, no collectors fees to pay
and no dead BEATS to write of on
the wrong side Of the ledger.
His store is located at 80 NicOilet
avenue, is absolutely up-tO-date in
every respect, and the arrangement Tor
exhibiting the enormous stock is COM
mented on 10y every one who enters.
The lifting or tryin2-On room is fur
nished in a most luxurious manner,
every detail being carefully studied
out for the comfort Of the customer.
Mr.. MitChell's work rooms, where
two hundred and forty people are en-
plOy eo, are located at Hennepin and
Fourth street. There are no better,
o COmmOdiOus, more sanitary tail
Oring quarters in the world than those
provided by Harry Mitchell for his
employees. Everythingruns like clock
work, and it would indeed be hard to
find a mo cOntented happier bunch
than work there.
Mr.. Mitchell has always been an adj
vOCate of paying a mar good wages,
and probably no tailor in the country
employs such high-priced cutters as
he does. He believes in getting the
best that money car buy. He has
absolutely no use for a man unless,
he's a postmaster at his business, and
that is one reason why Harry Mitchell
has no fear in putting on his shingle
"SatisfaCti0n or No Pay"
His customers include some Of the
best dressers in Minneapolis, but it
makes no difference to Mr.. Mitchell
whether the customer is a banker, a
railroad president ar a Sl5-a-week clerk,
they all get the same painstaking
attention.
That Harry Mitchell has absolutely
become famous for his made-tO-order
Sl5, $40 and S25 suits and Overcoats is
an established fact-nOt only in Min
neapolis alone, bat in all the surround
ing states. His mail order business
has grown so rapidly in the past years
that it became imperative for him to
enlarge his quarters. He brides him
self on his perfected self-measurement
system, and says it makes no differ
ence where a man may live, he can fit
him Just as well as il he took his
eas himself.
As previously said, Mr.. Mitchell is
a stanch believer in publicity. He
says you can't catch fish without bait
and he doesn't see how the public is
going TO know what you've got to give
them unless you tell them. -Minnea-
