Think How v '-'"
Much Dress Counts?
Compare the number of people
you meet every day whom you
know to those' you don't know.
"Nearly always you will find you
don't know the majority. How
else can this majority judge you
than by your dress?
This very fact we bear in
mind when fitting our customers.
Each and every customer gets our
most careful attention, and the
garment he selects must give him
a neat appearance. No matter
whether his taste is extreme or
conservative, he should look neat.
In order to retain this neatness the workmanship
must be there. That's why we select our nifty "
Suits and Overcoats
From the "L" System and our conservtive styles from the Adler-Rochester line. The
workmanship is there, and it can't be beat. You don't have to pay any more for these
high-grade makes than you have to pay elsewhere for the inferior kind.
