For 5 years we have had the exclusive sale of the eelebrated "PALMER" garments, and1 each -r's business has wonderfully in-^ r.reased in volume. WHY? Be-, cause they are in every way satis sactory because every garment sold sells another. j'our Jacket or Cape for the season the first thing you want to be sure of is "THE STYLE," isn't it? If that isn't absolutely right you might as we'l get a last season's garment and be done with it. And then the FIT must be perfect, because if a garment does not fit the style does not count for much. Then there is the quality of the goods, too. To a certain extent you can tell at first sight if a garment has these qualities, but you cannot tell all about it until the end of the season. THERE IS ONE WAY, though, to be absolutely safe in buying your garment, and that is, in addition to your own best judgment, buy oi a house that has a reputation for doing RIGHT, and further, one that GUARANTEES EVERY GAR MENT to give satisfaction to the wearer. WE DO IT' About Price You can buy tkis season bet ter garments, better linfid, at a less price than ever before."Pl^sh Capes 'Specially and good style am? price way down low!
