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.

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. MUSE’S, 3-5-7 Whitehall Street
