QUITMAN CALLS OFF i
“BLUE SUNDAY" LAW,
The Boy Question
You have to solve it from many angles because
boys nowadays need a lot of study and care to develop
them toward substantial manhood.
Their clothes is one of these questions. Upon
the proper selection depends the boy’s good appear
ance, your economy and his freedom to indulge in
wholesome play without having to restrain himself on
account of clothes that will not “stand the gaff.”
“Wooly Boy” clothes solve this part of your “boy
question” and solve it satisfactorily, too. The fab
rics and tailoring are of the sort that are strong and
sturdy to withstand rough and tough wear. The
styles are exceedingly clever and unique in smart
pinch-back and belted styles. The patterns are lively
and youthful.
