The skilled hand of an artist isn't
needed to improve the appearance of
Richman's Clothes.
But we do employ considerable artistry
in the designing, cutting and tailoring,
so that you, too, may look your best in
Richman's Clothes.
1t costs something to create style like
this-only a few manufacturers have
large enough sales volume to afford it.
But it is even more important to know
that you are getting woolens of fine
quality-and tailoring good enough to
make the style last.
We secure the Cream" of all wooden
market offerings, at very substantial
price concessions, because we buy vast
yardage for cash.
And our 1000 stock-owning workers
take pride in producing the best tailor
ing within range of skilled hands and
scientifically precise machines. They
are satisfied with a garment only when
they know it will satisfy you.
Richman's Clothes will look as we'll on
you as the regular "stock" suit worn
by the young business man in our
photograph.
