So Years of Common Sense
in Clothes Making

No. 5130 Blue Serge Special is a suit of
clothes made for real men of all ages who
want the utmost in solid, substantial value
for their money.
It's the elimination of sixty-eight years
of common sense in Clothcraft Clothes
making which sounds easy but wasn't.
1t meant studying every little operation
from cutting the cloth to sewing on the
buttons = to find the one best and shortest
way in each case.
Here's another point: Cutting the cloth
for twenty suits at once not only means
doing it better, it also means saving time
and money.
That saving gives you better cloth,
better lining, better designing.
No other method could have put so
much all-round value into a suit like
$3.50" at S15.00-al Ill ready to put on and
wear.
Clothcraft includes many models, both
in $3.50" and in a variety of other fabrics
and patterns. It's the one Guaranteed All
Wool line at $40 to 500.

sonal note of introduction to the nearest
