Getting The Right Clothes.
It isn’t a question of going to the bert tailor in the town.
There are probably not more than a dozen tailora in ihe
largest cities who are considered lint class by the best

these few.
The manufacturers 1 represent have infinitely better fa*
duties than almost any of the tailora as the new summer
lines will show.
