There 's a World of
Difference in
Men 's Tropical Suits
In buying suits of this kind, one of the surest things
is that the man who looris for cheapness can easily
find it.
It is equally certain that the man who looks for
quality finds it just as easily if he looks where quality
belongs.
By "cheapness" we mean the kind of seeming econ
omy that is costliness in disguise.
By quality we mean genuineness in the fabrics and,
above all, fineness, carefulness, thoroughness in the
tailorwork. The distinguishing mark of every Wana
makcr tropical suit is the genuineness of the fabrics
and the superiority of the tailoring.
If you happen to see or hear of tropical suits at
prices lower than Wanamaker prices, it will be worth
your while to compare the qualities.
You will see as clear as print the difference in the
quality, in the stitching of the edges, the finishing of
the pockets, the making of the collars and lapels.
Tropical suits of lightest weight tropical worsteds, $32 to $-,'0.
Mohair suits in striped and self-striped effects, $25 to $30.
Palm Beach suits, all of the real Palm Beach fabric, $20
and $22.50.
Knitted sports coats, $20.
White flannel tiousers, $12.

Some Men A re Buying Their
Second Straw Hats
These are the men who thought they would save
money on straw hats by buying them around the lowest
prices quoted.
They have found in many cases that the hats are
not giving the service they hoped for and that a. pro
nounced and somewhat freakish style becomes tiresome.
These men are now appreciating the fine fashion
and splendid wearing quality of Lincoln-Bennett and
Redleaf London straw hats and many of them will be
glad to get shapes with wider brims, of which we have a
