EASTER MORN

Easteris a time of renewing things;
one of the nice things about it is
that most people make it the Oc-
CaSiOn of new ClOtheS,neW hats,
new things -to-wear generally.
That is part of the real meaning
of this great holiday; everything
becomes new.
Time was when the ladies did
most of this sort of celebration
of the day; but -a-days men
are making Easter their time for
new clothes; and it is 4 good
idea, too. Every man in this
town who pretends to be well
dressed, or to care about his
looks, should be dressed in his
new clothes Easter morning.
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes are
such as you will find best suited
for this occasion. The new ia
brics are beautiful. The new
models are particularly smart IN
style.
We shall be glad to show you the
latest things-tO-wear; fine suits,
new neckwear, new shirts and
all the latest STYLES in straw and
4 felt hats.
Come to see us.
