when they should last six months.
Father contends that his suits last
him year. Why not Bobby's?
But, leaving out the question OF

wrought by nails, there is another
reason why fathers clothes wear
longer than Bobby's. The material Is
better.
Now that European Industries are

Because Of this, and also because
Of the better material In fathers suits.
