Someone once said that there are only two
things that absolutely distinguish man from the lower
animals—the art of fire making and Clothes. Clothes
are a mark of civilization; even savages have some
sort of raiment, and the more civilized man becomes,
the more attention he gives to dress. The man of
to-day realizes the importance of being well groomed,
and demands something more than just enough
cloth to cover him. He wants his suit to be "a little
different" without being gaudy or of exaggerated cut
Our Spring suits, which represent the best styles of
the season, have quiet qualities of fit and design that
make them popular with particular men. The prices
range from $15.00 to $40.00.
