Gentlemen, make up yonr mind that tho advice given by "Polonius” to his son, who was jnst setting ont for Paris, tho most fashionable city of the world, (“As Costly” etc.,) is as good to day ns jt.wns when he lived, and had wo been in existence at that time, ho would undoubtedly have add ed—and go to the "City Clothing House for thy apparel.’’ A well dressed man is certainly the noblest work of the tailors art. • To be well dressed does not imply a forge expenditure of money, for clothes are so cheap (with ns) that it takes but few dollars to fit a gentleman out from top to toe. You’ll all admit that neat, form-fit- ig and tasteful garments induce a fellow to feel likc ho is somebody of importance, even if he isn’t. Haven’t you noticed it? You’ve all heard of the “McKinley Tariff,” well it has sent cloths up 20 per cent. That will be a plausible ex cuse for some concerns for advancing the price of clothes, but the advance doesn't bother us even a little bit.
