The man who comes back for an
other "Llambak" is the man who
can best say what we tell you
about them.
He's the best judge — he's the
court of last resort—he's a nat
ural booster because he knows
from experience whereof he
speaks.
The natural soft silky texture of
a "Llambak" is remarkable fop
Its warmth without weight com
fort—its choice patterns, its elo
quent tribute to Adler-Rochester
craftsmanship, in fine hand
needling and style distinction,
and in its graceful drape and
hang characteristic of tailoring
at its best.

only slightly over 13,000.

a comparatively strong union party

17th, 18th and 19th precincts com

the 12th precinct Senator Lawlor
ran only three votes behind Presi
dent Roosevelt. He was but 23 votes
behind the president In the 13th. In
the 14th precinct he vu but lout
votes behind the president while In
the 15th he led President Rooevelt

of the president and In the 19th he

head of the national ticket.
