Your shoulders, chest, back, carriage, height, walk? And although you may be pleased with a garment, they’ll ask you not to take it if it isn’t just right. Don’t want it said, you ... . s , know, that it came from this store. Then we combine the study of men with that of cloth and make-up. This material or style best becomes the clergyman, that the bustling business men, an other the young collegian. All this doesn’t add to the price. Quite the contrary. The more skilled the knowledge of cloth and trimmings, the greater the command of resources, tho more judicious the purchasing, the better the benefits to the cus tomer. It’s not hard to understand, therefore, why garments bought here arc war- f . ’ ' ’ ments that carry with them an air all their own and apart from that of thousands which weary and displease because they look just alike, but aho why they’re better and less in price than others. We especially invite you attention to the HIGH MERITS and SUPERIOR OUALITY' of WHISKIES offered by us. THE ENORMOUS BUSINESS which is attributable to us, plainly shows that the public appreciate good things. ALL OUR BOTTLE WHISKIES ARE BOT TLED AT THE DISTILLERIES UNDER the SUPERVISION of the GOVERNMENT and we cheerfully recommend them FOR MEDICI NAL PURPOSE.
