The Founder of the
First Nation Wide
Tailoring Service

TN 1876. M. Born conceived the
u idea which makes it possible for
you to buy better clothes, today, at
thirty dollars suit, than your grand
father could buy for sixty.
The first nationwide tailoring service
was founded upon the belief that an organ
ization of expert WOODEN men, designers,
cutters and tailors could produce better
clothes than one-man shop-and produce
them more economically.
The tremendous growth of this industry
proves that the idea was sound. Today,
the House of Born tailors clothes to the
individual measure of nearly half million
men yearly.
Style, fit and long service are matter of scien-
tihc certainty in Born Tailored suit-and you'll
lind the price lower than the figures asked for any
other clothes of equal value. Let us show you
how good a suit we make at the price you
want to pay.

STOCKS REAC1ONARy;;
IRREGULAR At OPENING

NEW YORK. October 25.-Stocks
became extremely reactionary soon
after the irregular opening of today's
brief. session., Extensive selling
seemed to be prompted by overnight
advices bearing upon Industrial con-
ditions. United States Steel and many
other leaders fell to lowest prices of
the week. A number of speculative
issues were to Is points under their
highest quotations for that period.
Extreme losses in steels. equipments
and oils ranged from 2 to 10 points.
Shippings lost > to 6. rails / to and
miscellaneous specialties 2 to 5. The
closing was weak. Sales approx
matNd 100000 shares.
The session opened with moderate
settings OF popular issues, which prob
ably had its basis in unfavorable Ia
Dor developments. Motors and their
subsidiaries were almost the only ex-
ceptions to the reactionary trend, but
the movement IN that quarter was
somewhat mixed. Gains Of 1 to z
points in Pierce Arrow. Stutz, General
Motors, Goodrich and Stromberg wore
offset by declines Of 1 to 8 points In
Studebaker. Baldwin Locomotive,
United States Steel, Republic Iron
