Economy Tailor
C. M. SIMMONS, Proprietor “
Goods Called for and Delivered. Cleaning and Repairing.
Suits Made to Order $38 Up. 1313 Dodge Street.
Our new location at 1313 Dodge street makes us a daylight shop.
Plenty of sale room. No time lost trying to please my customers.
All we ask of you is to give us a chance’to make your clothes, and
to be convinced in your own mind. We cut, trim, make a suit with
extra trousers, $45.00. It is true old Solomon says: “There is noth
ing new under the sun,” but the economy tailor always finds a way
of improving his work. We accomplish what others promise. The
smartness that satisfies cannot be pressed on a suit with a tailor’s
iron—it must be bui.t into the suit from the first clip-clip of the
cutter’s shears. The canvas is the structure that the front shoulders
of a coat depend on—it is unseen to you from the way it is molded.
The qualities of leadership remain under all conditions, so call and see
our new store.
