Choic Shirt
Men of taste will appreciate our handsome shirts
the moment they clap their eyes on them. Made of
beautiful fabrics and in new spring patterns.

much liberty with his vest.

strings are looser—we have the best.

When a Manis a
Failure
When he has no confidence in himself nor his fellow men.
When he values success more than character and self-respect.
When he does not try to make his work a little better each day.
When he becomes so absorbed in his work that he cannot see
that life is greater than work.
When he lets a day go by without making some one happier and
more comfortable.
When he tries to rule others by bullying instead of by example.
When he values wealth above health, self-respect and the good
opinion of others.
When he is so burdened by his business that he finds no time for
rest and recreation.
When he loves his own plans and interests more than humanity.
When his friends like him for what he has more than for what
is.
When he knows that he is in the wrong, but is afraid to admit it.
When he envies others because they have more ability, talent or
wealth than he has.
When he does not care what happens to his neighbor or to his
friend so long as he is prosperous.
When he is so busy doing that he has no time for smiles and
cheering words.

and commendation of our service. We accept deposits subject to
