VARSITY SUITS
Are Leaders of Style.
Varsity Suits are the most widely
copied models in the world. But as
in every thing else, the copies lack
the grace and beauty of the originals,
and only serve to enhance the popu
larity of Varsities.
We are proud to offer such hand
some suits, in such a wonderful va
riety of the new colors and stripe ef
fects, as well as quieter colors and
solid blue and black. If ycu wear a
Varsity, you have the satisfaction of
knowing there is nothing finer, better
fitting or handsomer to be had at any
price.
Varsity Suits cost from $15 to $30.
$6 and $7 Boys' Suits,
OO
All righs reserved by Meigs & Co.

Boys' regular $6 to S7 all-wool worsted suits,
double-breasted coat and roomy knickerbockers,
in newest colors and patterns, at S5.00. Sizes 7
to )6. As this is a special offering, we urge you
to come promptly, if you want to save a dollar
or two.
