said "The habit of dressing we'll is a magnet
that draws to itself so many other good habits
that they lift a man into the high places of sue

Society Brand Satisfaction For
Men Is to so

For as many years as you are old, per-
haps, you've been hearing about the sl,perior
style and service-giving quality of Society
Brand Clothes. Perhaps, too, you've been
wearing Society Brand some of these years.
Ii the later, then we know we'll see your smi-
ing face again, because they are clothes that
send their taproOts of friendship right down
into wearers heart and keep him coming
back for more of the same kind. If you've only
been hearing about them, you've been missing
lot of clothes satisfaction and clothes econ
omy, and we'd like you to drop in and stroke
your palm over some of the silky woolens and
get your two eyes full of the crispness and
manliness so pronounced in our Fall stocks.
