What will your new suit look f
like after you have worn it awblle?
Two suits may look very much alike
when new, buC iL is the honest workman- w
ship, 'the stitching and the tailoring that . t,
cannot be seen, that give permanence and
durability not only to the garment itself,
but to die graceful lines that you admire ..
so much when you first put on you new ;
suit.
Wooltex garments are famous for their perfection of
style, forlhe bcajtiiy of the fabrics used, but especially for-the
superb tailoring which gives them exquisite lines and the un
equalled air of refinement which you sec in the garments.
And all of this good character and good looks stays
with the suit, to return with all its original beauty every time
the garment is prcsssd. "
