your keen sense of values, your good taste

Judging things not by the price tag nor
the party label, but by the gauge of real
quality and solid merit.
1t is these inherent characteristics in
you that lead us to believe that Royal Tail
or Service is your kind of clothes service;
it is service of bedrock values all the
way through; without hypocritical preten-
sions; without any misleading standards;
an efficient service that delivers the goods
and charges fair price
There are other men who may prefer
to go to high priced, small-shop tailor
and pay twice the price-just so they can
brag ;bout the cost. But when you once
know that oval Tailoring means the very
utmost III made to measure clothes that
any money can buy we don't believe the
small prices will prejudice you.

call on us next week, Mr. Mayor, and at
least give us a chance to show you what
we can do for you in the way of Royal
