WatsOn-Made Suits

There is as much difference
between a live model and an
artificial one as there is be-
tween a live Indian aud a
wooden cigar store image.
Result: Watson suits, fitted
TO LIVE models, really look
like the best made-to-order
clothing.
At the neck, where most
coat collars hang off, or sag,
Watson collars fit perfectly.
And the shoulders. fronts and
backs are tailored so skilfully
that the suits look to be worth
twice the price.
They ARE worth muchmore..
than common suits sold for the
same money. More real value
in them-because sold direct
to you by the makers.
Faultlessly fitting Fall suits,

The Chinese consul admits that he

that he assisted her in every way pos
