"Howdoo. howdoo."
Well boys" l said, Il just happened
to hear your conversation and 1 deny
most emhatically the statement. This
gentleman pointed to the wise guy"
mot only can | guarantee to make you
a suit to order as good as it is pps-
sible to make by any Chicago tailor,
but there are other honest and good
merchant tailors in Hammond, who will
treat you just as good"
We'll. the wise guy" getting red in
his face, started to excuse himself.
referred ito .ready-made clothes"
Even so you were wrong" 1 said,
and | will prove it to you right now.
Just come a few steps with me. There
Is the Model Clothing House, with
their famous nice stock of Hart-Shaff-
ner-Marx clothes. Look opposite of the
Model is the E. & F. clothing store.
with its society proud and other high
grade suits Then look there (pofnting
to the Hub clothing store. with their
Sophomore suits). Then again, here,
Elsner's store. with first -ciass suits.
They are all anxious to get your trade,
and will treat you as nice as it can be- -
Il think the tailor is right" remark
ed one
you bet" agreed the other.
Now, here is another point" said +.
The other day a young man came to
me with a new suit which he bought
in Chicago. and paid SIS for it. He
asked me to fix ii for him so that he
should not be ashamed to show himself
before his young girl When he tried
it on, l found out that. although the
front of the coat was about two inches
too narrow, the back was four inches
too wide. the collar one and one half
| inches too low, and the shoulders were
hanging down like the ears of an ele-
| pint. To fix the coat was worth s5,
| but having pity on him, 1 fixed it for
| $s.5o. So the suit cost him already
| s2150, besides the fare to Chicago and
loss of time. If he would have bought
| the suit in Hammond at the Model or
| the E. & F.. or by the other stores
they would fix it for him free ofcharge,
| in fact they would not give him such a
/ bad fitting right at the beginning
1T is the duty of every person to
/ keep local industry busy because local
| industry spends their money in the
/ home town, which helps to build
/ churches. pay taxes, supports the
| schools supports other merchants
/ builds better buildings in town anS
| makes the whole community more
| prosperous Besides here in town the
| most merchants know you and yot
| know them. They will treat you right
/ otherwise they know it won't do then
i good In the big cities, they don't care
for you, because they have the thou
sands of strangers every day to fool
BY golly, he is right" the wis,
guy" suggested. ''let us go in and hav,
a drink"
n We all went in, Keeping the glas
in hand the wise guy. assured m,
that he learned a lesson tonight. Be
fore we separated he asked me- s-IIov
much do you charge to make suit t,
ordery'
From SIS and up, or $40 high
grade suit
is that possible2"
Yes, sir. 1t is fact I will give vol
a written guarantee that if you are no
perfectly satisfied with the work, fiji
woolens or lining you get your none
back. We do all the work here at 6
State street, Hammond. Whenever yo
will see an ad from sthe Young Men
Tailors you should know that there /
no Misrepresentation
Well, we'll, l will be a fool if 7 vii
not come to see you tomorrow. afte
supper. Goodbye Mr. Greenberg.
