Barnesville News-Gazette. Volu®e 57 FAITH TAILORING to most men is a kind of “Black art.” They expect a certain magic effect from the wizard of the tape and shears but they know very little about how he obtains it. When they find that one word will bring forth a suit of clothes or overcoat with all the fine points they de mand: High quality fabric, perfect fit and finish, authentic style —they place their trust in it unquestingly. The makers of Griffon Clothes are very proud that in the minds of so many men the name has become an “Open Sesame” to good dress. L. A. COLLIER “All the New Ones A\l the Time” Barnesville, Ga.
