LAING "MODERN CLOTHES I OR MEN" 308 B Butte Ave. Alliance, Nebr., March 7th, 1913. Gentlemen : - He had long hair and a pensive look. He wrote a poem entitled, "Why Do I Live?" He signed it Augustus-and sent it to a magazine. The editor wrote him as follows: "My dear Augustus, the reasoh you live is because you sent the poem by mail instead of bringing it personally." That's reason enough. The reason many Clothing Men are living today is because they were not there when the poor victims put on their suits. We are not afraid to be "among those present" with anybody who wears "Modern Clothes for Men", because they fit and please. All you have to do to confirm this is to "ask the man who wears them" . E..G.. Laing will be "among those present" with you whenever you may call and will show you, in the 1913 Spring lines, some reasons why "Modern Clothes for Men" are always at least one season ahead of competition.
