FAIR PLAY TO
 CUSTOMER THE
 HILTON SYSTEM

Bridgeport Is to have another up- to-date mems clothing house tomor- row with the opening at Fairfield avenue and Middle street of a branch of the big Fifth avenue house of Hilton's, under the management of Charles Hilton. MT. Hilton will make Bridgeport his headquarters, and will conduct from this city the chain of mems stores which has been established in New England.
 HiIton's manufactures it's own clothing, and Manager Hilton said today that because it makes it's own. Bridgeport will be offered advantages through his store not enjoyed by oth- CT establishments. It cuts out the jobber entirely, and reduces the cost by eliminating a. middleman.
 Fair play for our customers will be a distinguishing feature of our system" Manager Hilton said to a Times reporter, land we intend to give Bridgeport the best to be had in mems up-to-date clothing, and at prices against wwhich others will find it hard to compete. We are of fering all of the new models in spring wear, just tailored in our own shops. We bought large quantities of woolens far ahead of the advance in the wool market, and are now able to give Bridgeport people the benefit of our foresight"
 The new store is an attractive one, fitted in the latest New York man. ner, and is well stocked with gar ments which ought to make any man proud to wear in the Easter par ade.
