SPRING
TO-DAY.
OPENING
SATURDAY
Beautiful, oplimistic Spring with its charming radiance ol
brightness has come. Let us welcome the new Spring wilh
its promise ol bringing new lite to Mother Earth again, let us
look forward to a brighter future, and lei the past depression
and gloom be a thing of the past. You arc cordially invited
to attend our Spring Opening today, Saturday. Let
us show you the new Spring Suits for men and young men
that Dame Fashion lias decreed for this season. Never were
styles so beautiful, patterns so rich, and tailoring so elegant.
Everything that is worth ivhile you will find right here: The
plainest dresser to the most fastidious can find just what he
wants here from the largest and most complete stock in
Southern Illinois, and as always the custom for less than any
where else.
These suits are made by a New York city manufacturer whose
reputation is gilt edge. Last year this concern turned out
over one million ol these Worthmore Suits principally in the
large cities of America. He sells to no dealer unless he can
use 1000 or more. Our selling capacity enabled us to sign a
contract for 2500 of these suits for the year 1909, and we arc
now ottering to the public ,$15 and $18 values for $9.95. We
defy any store to sell a suit equal in fit, style, tailoring, etc.,
etc., for less than $15 or $18. These are displayed in our
windows. Gentlemen, take notice what the small sum of
$9.95 buys at this shop. A real nifty Spring suit in worsteds
and cassimers, with the new dip front, and peg trousers in
the new green and tan shades, made first class, inside and
out, for $9.25. It will be your loss if you do not look at this line
before buying your Spring clothes.
MEN'S AND YOUNG MEN'S SUITS AT $15.00
Something out ol the ordinary in the new shadow stripe,
blue and the new taupe and crushed gray shades-a dress
suit in every respect. Styles are the new 2 and 3 button
models, broad shoulders and tapered waists. Many styles to
select Irom. In this line we have sizes, to fit any man or
young man, he may be short, stout, regular or slim built.
OTHER SUITS UP TO $40.00.
Open Evenings Until 6 o'clock, Saturdays; 10130 p. m.
