 We know that with some justice) a great many men have had the idea that fine custom tailoring is prohibitive luxury. But now, by making connections with the famous tailoring house of B. Stern & Son, with its fine, spacious tailoring shops in the heart of New York, where skilled tailors of the highest type execute our orders, we are able to offer the highest calibre of custom tailoring at as low figure as mediocre ready-made clothes. (And, of course, custom tailored clothes where fit and modelling is tailored in, not pressed in give you far longer wear because they hold their shape as long as the fabric lasts.) = We are responsible for the fit of our clothes. We help you pick your woolens from our brilliant assortment of several hundreds; sOe measure you and advise with you on every little point of every garment.
 Then we pass the measurements and data
 into the most skillful hands in the country! Only by such an ideal cooperative arrange. N ment could we have such wide resources at our disposal; could we make such tremen- dously fine clothing at $25, $50 to $50.
