A RUN ON VESTS.

1t is always the case that most
stores have a lot of waste material
on hand and such was the case with
the White Clothing Store. They
had a lot of old vests. Some had
been separated from the suits to
which they belonged, some were put
out of sight when vests went out of
style, many years ago, and alto.
gether White had on hand a lot Of
vests which, until a few days ago,
seemed to be hard stock. In an in
spired moment Jordan Ramey made
his young brother-in-law, Mr.: Bill
Calvert, a present of one and Bill
wore it to school the next day. Since
then there has been a steady run on
vests at Whites and they are going
like hot cakes at a quarter each.
Every thing from the second grade
up is sporting a vest. Our son Bill,
bought a No. 81 but later "swapped"
with Fred Minshall for a No. 81,
which is a better fit.
