Clothing warmth. We can
pile on outside warmth
in the shape of a heavy
Suit or Overcoat with
out much cooling of the

It costs less to keep warm
' now than it dici a month

tle more of your time to
find your size and fit,
but it takes less of your
money.
In overhauling our clotn

al lines of Suits and
Overcoats sold down to

the sizes are such that
it becomes difficult to fit
every comer. Also lines
