Clothing Fables.

You can hear and read them

The clothes we sell are
made partly on machines and
finished by hand. They are
pressed with irons; the cloth
is shrunk after it is woven;
and better clothes cannot be
made; in fact, good clothes
cannot be made otherwise.
Absolute satisfaction, or
money back is the way we sell
them, and you re the Judge.
