Here is a smart style from the 20th CENTURY line of
fine tailored garments for men,
s-
Perhaps you like the sack style better—we have them
in single and double breasted.
You've heard about these garments of course but do
you know personally how superior they are? The 'best
4sessers in Canada today have adopted the
20th Century Brand of Readyto-wear
instead of paying the high prices demanded for equally good
. work in custommade clothing.
