Busy Days
These.
So many men like our styles and prices they never
experiment buying elsewhere. And the number
grows each season. Small wonder that it should; for
every normal man likes his Suit or Overcoat to be in
the latest mode—well fashioned and possessing the
air and fit of having been made for him
Occasionally alterations have to be resorted to. Cus
tom tailors practice that on their $60.00 products.
We make the Suit or Overcoat fit you perfectly, or
decline to sell you. That’s our policy.
