fruit as is shown by the size dhat the business has grown
TO in a brief two years.
The Man in the Barrel was the first cleaner and

cleaning mems suits TO $3.50 and of pressing mems

taken up by only one or two other establishments in

war levels with the attendant reduction in wages.

range in price from $50 to $45. and include such well
known lines as Bloch's Clever Clothes, StudentCraft

done in the store insuring satisfaction and a perfect

that clothes had gone back absolutely to pre'war prices
