is the theme vvhich we bring to
your notice at this time.
Some wise man has said, " My
son, get wisdom, and with all thy
getting get understanding."
The wise man to day says, "Get
a new suit or overcoat, and when
you are getting, get it made to
your order in your own town,
where you know what you are
getting, and that it is genuine
tailor made." That would be
wisdom ; that would be under-
standing.
Our New Spring Goods have

we have had for some time, and,
at prices corresponding with the
qualities shown.
