Can you tell all pure wool
from part cotton cloth? Ten
chances to one you can't.
But our chemical Test tells
the tale".
Ask us to show you two
pieces of cloth of the samo
pattern, one all wool, the
other adulterated with cotton.
See if you can tell one from
the other.
Then have us show you
how caustic soda burns off the
wool and leaves the cotton
exposed before your eyes.
Make this test on any one
of the 500 patterns in the
spring- line sent out by The
Royal Tailors, Chicago, New
York.
You will find them every
one all pure wool.
Make this test on any other
samples. You will find 8 out
10 of them adulterated with
cotton.
Royal Tailoring- is your
protection against the cotton
frauds. We legally guarantee
every thread of our half-a-thousand
patterns to be All
