That's the kind of a Suit your Spring Suit should be.
And it's the kind of a suit it will be. if it collies from this
Home of Good Clothes.
The known character and the, apparent superiority of
our elothing are sometimes positive haindicaps to us, be-
cause people form the ,idea that such fine clothes cost more
than they do,
But with ail our selling of the finest ready-to-wear
clothes in Canada, we have never neglected the man whose
outlay for a suit is to be

12 or
15.
For instance, take this season's -great array of suits at these
prices ; the variety is large, they fit 'perfectly, and they are
designed by the same expert, and made the same 'work-
rooms and with the same care as our clothing at half as
much more money, The man who wants the best Moderate
priced suit his money can buy, will do well to turn his steps
towards the'store where his satisfaction is assured.
