proved from his trip to the Sound.

balance of the season.
We could make clothes
expressly for you here at home, but
a local tailor shop today is impractical
and unprofitable.
It has no labor market from which to secure
desirable cutters and tailors ?
It cannot afford to install a modern plant
designed to reduce cost of production ?
It doesn't do sufficient business to enable it
to buy woolens direct from tbe mills ?
It cannot keep abreast of metropolitan styles
and workmanship.
Therefore, we send our orders
for fine made-to-measure clothes to
Ed. V. Price & Co., of Chicago.
We can take your measure the
same way we would if running shops
here, and furnish you your clothes,
made as you want them, at 50 c/o less
than we could make them locally.
JSL Won't you call today?
