The Chef Who Won't
Eat Hash

The high-Class merchant tailor
imports the greater percentage
of his fabrics, because Of his
policy to offer exclusive, novel
patterns with few, if any, dup1i-
Gates. He is able to bring over
the very newest colorings and
patterns within a few weeks af-
ter they appear in London.
The clothing manuf" Cturer who
must not only make thous-
ands of suits alike, but gets
his samples outsix months be-
fore he delivers the finished
product, can't possibly put
newest effects on the market,
because he must place big adj
vance mill orders. That is why
almost all retail Clothiers and
practically every manufacture
er, himself, has his clothes
made by the l1igh-C1ass mer-
chant tailor. They know too
much about their own goods.
Like the hotel chef who never
eats hash, they are extremely
particular. Particular m n
will patronize the good mer-
chant tailor as long as he is in
business. And he can never be
displaced by the clothing store
Until men of taste disappear
from the communities.

StOvsiue Is a drug already known to

with strychnipe aud distilled water and
Injecting 1t into the spinal cord, the doc

insensibility to pain without loss of con.
