This is reagily:descernable in -business. For ' exampl) how ' often have you seen men who, while they seemed never done " doing things," "always busy," " always on the ump," so to speak ; yet they never grew strong financially. These men pera sted in doing'things. On the other hand you known men who- api$arently do no , bestir themselves greatly, and yet each year tads to their stock of know - 1 ledge and of this world's goods. These are the men who persist i making choices. And the difference between the tw� classes is simpl the difference between a machine and a thinking, rational being. To apply the foregoing, we, claim to have been making choices or using our judgment in the selection of our clothing stock, to which we point with reasonable pride, as containing the very best Values that are obtainable in men's wear. . , And after all is said, it is not necessary even to take our word for it ; ask any man's opinion who has dealt with us, and you will ‘, invariably get the answer : Well !
