Merchants all over Canada, who sell the same brand of rain or shine Overcoats as we handle, are getting most of the raincoat business. Thete's a reason for this.

The superiority of these coats and suits, too, is easily understood and explained by the fact that they are worn by good dress. ers all over Canada. Men who used to pay enormous prices for made -to - measure coats and suits, ars now wearing 20th Century Ready-to-wear Garments with equal or ever better satisfaction, and at a saving of 25 to 50 per cent. in price.
