Man’s to man—as old

frailties and its greatest retard

in mourning because of it.
What a splendid thing then It Is
when men reach that fine estate
of true fellowship with Its em
bracing faith and trust and con
fidence—an unbeatable trinity c*
human virtues.
When a firm engages *or fifteen
years in one line of endeavor,
EXCLUSIVELY catering to men,
and keeps it going and growing it
simply means that concern has
gotten CLOSE to men and estab
lished a RELATIONSHIP and
