Could Any Man Convince You That
HeWas a ParticularDresser If He
Did Not Wear Tailored Clothes?
Nothing is added to the COST of tailored
clothes that is not added to the VALUE—
sometimes in most generous measure.
Wouldn't you like to have people think
that a high class tailor made your clothes?
No One Will Think So Unless It's True.
And it might as well be true—don't you
think? For we will make a suit for you
at prices which will represent more VAL
UE to you than you ever bought before
with that amount of money.
Berg & Soderling, Tailors.
