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 the 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$ less
than we could make them locally.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. July 14? Ad
Wolgast, the crack Milwaukee feather*
weight, gave Battling Nelson, cham
pion lightweight of the world, a soun
beating in a 10 round fight at Naud
pavllllon last night. Under the law
no decision could be given, but Wol
gast lead all the way and had the
better of six of the ten rounds.
Wolgast displayed great speed and
cleverness and made Nelson repeat
edly miss his leads, when Wolgast
would put. in stinging counters. In
the in-fighting Wolgast contented lilni
self with* blocking Nelson, and the
Dane could do little execution.
Although badly hammered. Nelson
was never in distress and would have
undoubtedly worn his man down had
the fight gone longer than 20 rounds.

TROY, N. Y. July 7? The Rev. Loo

ular clergymen of Troy, has surprised
his' congregation by his announcement
that he will retire from the ministry
August 1, to devote his time to so
cialistic work. An offer to double
his salary failed to swerve him from
his purpose. He says he never again
will occupy a pulpit as an orator.
"I have been brought to take this
step by the fact that the church has
no definite policy," said .Mr. Black,
"nor does it desire to have any on
any of the problems before the
country today."
