There is no need to tell again how we got them, but if you haven't got' your win- ter Overcoat yet, you'll be glad the sup- ply was generous, and to know we still have a few in Brown, Navy and Black. We'll make them any style you wish, long or short, single or double breasted, just as you say, and we put in good trim- mings too. There's no such Coat for the price in the trade, and $3 or $4 ought to be worth saving.
