Oue business has chiefly been Ordered
Clothing with the exception of Ready -
Made Pants, Overalls and Ready -Made
Overshirts. We have often been asked
for a cheap suit and in order to accom-
modate our customers had to put in a
few lines of Ready-Mades. We do not
purpose making any more profit on
these than will pay the freight, as it is
a sideline out of the ordinary run of
Cur trade.
The first price is $5 for it Alan's Suit,
generally sold at $7. .
The second price is $5 50. This suit
would be cheap enoughat117,50.
The third price $7. This snit is made
out of all wool Halifax Tweed and will
give $10 worth of wear.
• The fbintli andlaet price in the Read y-
Mades is $8 and it is really a nice snit,
neatly cut and well made, good trim-.
