| NEW TAILOR SHOP

We wish to annOuce that we are
putting in a first class tailor shop in
connection with our clothing store.
We have long felt the need of a
first-class tailor in connection with
our business, but owing to the fact
that such tailOrs are few and far be-
tween, we have not until recently
been able to secure the service of
a tailor who would be credit to
our reputation for giving more real
value for less money than any other
clothing store in the city. We have
now secured the services of Mr.. H.
r. Schneider, formerly of Whitefish,
a first-class tailor in who we believe
We can place all the confidence that
the people have placed in us, and at
the same time maintain the reputa-
ton of being merchants who carry
the best that money can buy. Since
leaving Whitefish, four years ago,
Mr.. Schneiderhas been east and ia
ken a thorough course in cutting
and up-to-date tailoring, and is now
one of the best and most capable
cutters and diapers in the state. We
are now in a position to do tailoring
from pressing a suit to making a
full dress. Our samples are now
on display and we will be pleased
to share our pleasure with the ear
ly risers who wish to look over the
new models and styles for spring
and summer 1911. None better.

Yours for good clothes,
