.SND QUALITY.
Two things determine the lasting quality of ;a suit ---the cloth
itself and the manner in which it is tailored.
And it is careful 'attention.to these details, that gives first
place, in the estimation of critical men, to suits and overcoats from
Brown's.
Take, for instance, the matchless suits and overcoats, made in
our own tailor shop, under the most careful supervision. They are
not made to sell, merely for the passing dollar of the day. They
are business -builders of the future.
Come in and let us show you, just how well they are made,
and we are confident you will then realize what very excellent val-
ues they are.
Sults---Fine fast -color blue and black worsteds and the newest patterns in fancy Worsteds are the
materials used in the development of these. up-to-date Suits. In point of style, these Suits
lapel, rounded fronts ; high -cut vests ; regular or medium peg trousers, with or yvithout cuff's.
Overcoats ---The man who comes to choose his overcoat is not
limited in the matter of style. For the young men who demand the latest, they are swell,
knee length coats of soft, heavy cheviot, plain or with fancy
check design, Then, there are the long ulster coats with shawl, converto or storm collars ; and the always pop-
ular black overcoats—Chesterfield style, fly front and velvet collar.
NEW STYLES IN MEN'S SOFT HATS.
Men's hats are more distinctly different this winter than they have been for some time—and the most
favored models are to be seen at Brown's.
Our carefully selected assortment has all the snap and dash of the newest fashions, yet without that ex-
aggerated freakishness so offensive to critical dressers.
The new soft hats have high crowns and pencil curl rims—some very smart styles having the heavy
corded silk band and binding of a contrasting shade. The colors are blue, bottle
plum and nigger brown.
AND In addition to the above
we carry a full line of men's green, olive brown, steel grey,
furnishings. -
