have selected the most beautiful
patterns of clothing l think / have
ever seen, and shapes and styles out
of the ordinary, for our fall business,
and have be al even more careful in
selecting qualities that 1 know to be
good and will wear we'll. The thought
of quality has always been one of the
first considerations in this business,
as l know poor quality cloth is hardly
worth making into suit. l am
having every inch of the cloth which
l purchased shrunk before it will be
made up into suits, and | have been
especially particular in selecting the
Innings as well as the trimmings of
the Ben Bear fall and winter clothing.
Every suit which we will offer to
the trade this fall at so and above,
will be made up strictly for us and a
guarantee of the maker as to the wear
ing quality as well as our own guar
antee will go with each and every
suit.
The fact of the matter is, our cloth
ing this TALL will surpass all our pre-.
yiOus efforts. and 10 one realizes this
fact so much as do, as l have Sc
lected these goods with the greatest
care and also intend to look after
the manufacturing end just as close as
it is possible. Our mems and young
men S suits and overcoats will be en-
tirely different You will see exclu.
sive patterns entirely our own, and
am free to say that our large fall and
winter stock will be revelation in
the line of ready tow ear clothing.
To tell it all in a nut shell, we will
be in position to do better for you
than ever before, knowing to hold
trade and to increase trade, mer.
chant must be progressive and liberal
with his customers You have always
found this policy here and will surely
not find us wanting in the future.
The announcement of our spring
opening will occur very sOon-watch
for it.
Very truly,
