How to Be Well Dressed and Not Look
Like Cloudy Winter Day.

In the American Magazine is an ac.
count OF one Of the most successful
insurance solicitors in the country,
who attributes large part of his sue
cess to the fact that he always looks
well dressed and prosperous.
IF you have only one suit Of clothes.
keep that one suit clean and pressed all
the time" he says. Press your trOu.
sers yourself every day if necessary.
have pressed my trousers lots of times.
Keep your shoes shincd.
"lf you can afford several suits.
change off from one suit to another
frequently and keep all of them spot
less and we'll pressed. l never wear a
suit longer than the second day at a
time, 10 change every day is better
1t gives the clothes a chance to rest
I always hang my clothes on hangers
the minute take them off. 1t gives
them n chance to come back into
shape and the nap TO come up again.
1T is great economy to have lots Of
good clothes. A suit will last twice
and three times as long and always
look we'll If you keep changing off from
one to another. Besides, people get
tired Of seeing man In the same suit
day after day for whole season.
when l started in the insurance
business years ago I realized that to
make good appearance was to look
prosperous. and l paid much attention
to my dress. avoided solid colors
and always selected clothes with some
life In them. A dash of color about
your person, whether it be In the
plaid Of the suit, the shirt, tie. hat or
handkerchief protruding from the coat
pocket. will take away the monotony
Of ones appearance and is sure to
please. But. in adding this life and
pep to ones appearance. avoid. above
all things, the cOlors that clash. Get
clothes with snap and life:' avoid
those which make the wearer look like
