  If value was music, we'd have a brass band in these Porter Suits for Men X Young Men, at

When you see these $35 suits you'll see five times as many as we've shown in years. When you feel the quality your fingers will tell you of the fine woolens. When you try them on your eyes will tell you want splendid fit- ting suits they are. To fully ap- preciate these extraordinary values we suggest the most rigid comparison you can make.

Good woolens, good workman ship, good wear. That's putting 1t modestly enough. to be sure. But, Porters was never a store to promise more than it could deliver-or as much as 1t did de- liver. We avoid exaggerated claims as religiously as we have always avoided temporizing with quality.
