Entirely Different from Any You
Have Ever Seen
Has more weight, is woven at right angles instead of
diagonally, which gives more strength. The dye is triple,
when washed it becomes bluer instead of lighter. Many
new improvements also on the overall, which make it
the best overall you ever bought. If you don't find it so,

Dear Boys
and Older People: -
We are determined to fill up this
space with something" you'll read
... so, to paraphrase the popular slogan,
Here's a suit ... of material "She loves
to touch," with a sleeve that readily conforms to
feminine lines. It is a worsted that permits the
dandling of chicken of the bobbed variety upon
your lap, without the discomforting annoyances of
tell-tale wrinkles in your trouser legs . . . some
brands of rouge and face powder may show on the
breast of this manly coat, but a slight brushing
readily removes it. It is the ne plus ultra of P.eau
Urummelism and one that no one can so skillfully
tailor as Kuppenheimer. Just ask yourself now
privately aren't there times you'd give a lot to be
really "Dressed Up" to feel that true regal air, like
you owned a set of gold mounted false teeth or
something . . . and while we are on the subject
. . . we have your size . . . and so's your Aunt
Symanthia.
