Did you ever meet a fidgety
man?
Ever stop to thinlt why he ap
pears so uneasy ?
Nine times out of ten it’s be
cause jiis clothes bother him.
His coat collar bobs up to his
ears when he sits down, or the
hem in his trousers has an insane
desire to rest on his ankle bone.
Perhaps ’tis simply the vest that
causes the trduble, and when it
taps him on the lower extremity of his left ear the “Fidg
ety Man” can be seen at his best.
Men who wear our clothes don’t fidgest.
Fall stock ready for inspection.
