We could make clothes
expressly for you here at home, but
a local tailor shop today is impractical
and unprofitable.
It has bo labor market from which to secure
r
desirable cutteri 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 lets
than we could make them locally.
Won't you call today?
