.'li We know a man who yes? terday dropped in on a first class Fifth Avenue tailor, only to learn that he could get a Spring suit in not a day less than six weeks. He's a somewhat fussy feliow, yet wanting the suit this Spring, he decided to see what we could do. Our imported stuffs took his eye at once. Our '-36 long" fltted him exactly. The price? Less than half the fee the tailor asked. Whether Spring suit or Easter cutaway, our range of fabrics and sizes in variably wins out when time's a factor. V/e encour age looking.

I didn't know whether it was a boost or a knock he was handing me. "What's a calory?" I asked him. "It's an energy unit," said Doc. "One Touraine Almond Bar contains about as much food value as two eggs or half pound of steak." I said, "Doc, I don't know anything about that? "But I do know my bars are chock-full of the best grade of almonds, and the chocolate is made the real French way. "That's what people want. If my bars are nutritious, too, that's fine. Fm glad to hear it." I didn't get into the almond bar business until about fifty other people were already in it That was only two years ago. Touraine has jumped from nothing to 1,000,000 bars a day in two years?-that shows I've got the kind people want TOURAINK ALMOND BARS are tl ones made the real French way. They're chock-full of the best gi almonds. And they don't cost you one cent more than the ordinary kind. That's the reason I'm making 1,000.000 Touraine Bars a day.
