isexnan,
Some shrewd people defer buying a Suit until the
slack times, which are generally in July *Al
August, . and by doh*, so buy at a far greater
reduced price than at any time during the year,
as all merchants clear out their spring stocks to
make way for fall. To those people we would
say that we are commencing to think about the
fall, and to those who /five not bought a Suit
this year, BUY ONE NOW. You can buy a, Suit
