HAMLET %*+ Kvt.su. M?ts ared.aadtat Phaaa jt Had. j True Style in | Clothes for Men I What it is and Why you Hnd it Here S TYLE includes beauty of fabric and perfection of fit. Yet ideal fabric and fit do not of necessity mean Style. So it is obvious that he who talks of fitting you well in handsome materials may not give you one iota of Style. And it is equally true that he who offers you, as "an induce ment," choice among a great num? ber of "styles" of ready-for-service garmentsjs not offeringyou"Style" but only "styles"?a word which means simply "ways" of cutting the garments. When Paquin of Paris designs a gown for women it is Style it self. When a dozen modists have copied this gown and it is sold in countless Shops then Style is no more. Popularity has taken its place and speedily degenerates to the Commonplace. True Style has naught to do with that which is Common. Here, at Smith Gray & Co., where we perconally make our clothes for men, and only as we need them, and where the average time from the bolt of recently-se lected fabric to your back is but a few weeks, we have the oppor tunity seldom achieved elsewhere to produce garments that are Style itself. This is a matter of artists' skill applied at almost the precise mo menLwhen Slyle declares itself. And it is ever true here that price paid will be forgotten when supreme satisfaction in your pur chase is still yours. \T/ UNDtR SAME 0toKM)C\&O*mMP0S\?Cl 1*45 ^ tlllillllllilMIII nlililiiiiiiiniiiii". an i*oa i o g w o ti ii i for n EARL&WILSON SHIRTS S |5.o AND MOREI AMUSEMENTS. gC*"-ii,r vuri^r S1IIU MiTt.T?
