“They are about the best
clothes I ever wore”
When you strike a suit you always
feel dressed up in and that wears
well, you are liable to brag about it.
Men keep coming back to us for another suit of
Styleplus <tt|7
Clothes W/
_ '»»BC ma«.
The same price the world over.**
The gist of what the users say is
this—“I never had a suit I liked
better.”
More models to choose from than you can usually find
anywhere at a medium price. A selection of fabrics
equally big.
The moment you slip on a suit and stand in front of
the mirror you will recognize that the superior set of
the coat and its style is the work of a master. The
workmanship also speaks for itself.
These are the qualities that will bring you back for a
second STYLEPLUS because the price is only $17—
all the time. You would have to pay more if one of the
great makers did not specialize on this one suit.
