Suits Overcoats Trousers Etc., etc., is the theme which 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 arrived, and it is not exaggerat- ing to say they are the nicest line we have had for some time, and at prices corresponding with the qualities shown, Space will not allow us to go into detail, but WE HAVE THE GOODS and can make them any style desired. We are dealing in strong statements, but will back it up, that we have yet to find the style of garment we cannot dupli- cate. And although plain, neat styles are more in line with strictly high - class tailoring this season, it is for you to name your' style— WE WILL MAKE IT Our Furnishing Department is filled with the newest and best for Spring and Summer in all lines. €"We have also added a first class line of Jewelry, ,CALL IN.
