Not Mere Cloth Merchants

What we sell is skill, exper-
fence and workmanship. 1t isn't
the cloth alone that makes for
value-it's the way it's cut and
worked-the way it fits and
wears.
Every garment we make calls
into play all our knowledge and
skill. We use every trick of the
trade TO devise clothes that flatter
you. Only by studying your indi-
viduality can we do it. But this
know-how and skill costs more
than sweat-shop-work. Our clothes
are worth a good deal more than
we ask.

but that the travellers on the roads by

For the past year and half Mr..
Gfeller has had bis road dragged with
q couple Of split logs after each storm
and for three miles along the Gfeller
land the roads are sample Of model

Some Of the passerby might have
thought that MIR. Gieller "stood in"
with the road boss Of that township
and received pay for each time the
road was dragged, but not SO. 1t is

Much ballast has been washed out and
the roadbed softened and many pile
bridges and culverts are gone. The
company is unable to get men. 1t Of

to S1.75. The company does not ex-

main line to Kansas City before two
days.
The time of resumption Of through

full The tracks west are still under
water and the extent Of damage is not
known. Plug trains are being run TO
shorey on the st. Joseph line.
