READY-TO-WEAR or “MADE-TO-MEASURE” WHICH? If there were any necessity of having your clothes made to measure, if that plan was the surest to secure good-fitting clothes, you would have the best of reasons for bearing the delays and uncertainties and paying the difference in price that this service invariably demands. Some years ago, remote in the measure of clothes building progress, that V/siS the only satisfactory way. Ready-to-wear clothes were in their infancy, and a good-fitting suit, ready made, was a rarity. That was before the advent of the modern master builder s of men’s Clothing, such as Hart Schaffner £? Marx and Kirschbaum. With such as these came progress, clothes making progressed From the hit-or-miss methods of former years to an art, a science. Now no matter what type of build you are, it is possible to secure a perfect fit, of finest materials in these makes of clothing, We carry them in Regulars, Slims and Stouts, Short-Stouts, Long-Slims and Stubs—these types in all sizes. Come in and see the new Fall models —you'll be under no obligation to buy. LOUIS STEYERNIAN “Always First With the Newest.”
