Do You Like to Be
Stylishly Dressed?
Maybe you think that's foolish

Maybe you think that's foolish
question; maybe it is, until you try to
answer it. Then you find that Eyes, Of course |
do, doesn't really answer it.
Because being stylishly dressed
isn't something you decide for yourself or your
friends decide for you. Style isn't just a matter
of opinion about clothes; if it were, every man
would be in correct STYLE and you can jud9 &c what
the variety would be by looking around you on
the street. or in the windows of clothing stores.
There are evidently lot of different opinions
about it.
No, the question of correct style
is settled for you by style Creators and we know
who the best ones are and we have the styles
they We created, ready for you here. You know
who we mean.

are style creators they show you the right thing.
Not simply one model; there are
many correct styles in their productions; there
are many good patterns and choice weaves. But
the point is when YOU are wearing these clothes
you know you're right SO far as style goes.
Added to that, you get Atwood
fabrics; you get the sort of tailoring such style
ideas and such fabric deserve. You get the service
that such things give; and value for the price.
