One Good Suit Will
Give Perfect Satis fac
tion. A Doe7 Poor
Suits Will Fail You
If you believe in wear
ing a suit of indisput
able quality, you will
have to look for a label
which stands for indisput
able quality.
We have yet to sec the man or
young man who doesn't appre
ciate the fact that the fabric, the
tailoring and the fitting power of
a suit must be a hundred per
cent perfect
Collegian Clothes
are modeled along exceptionally
clever lines and from the first
to the last stitch they are guar
anteed to give service. In all
America, today, there isn't a
value which compares with
them, c They have character,
dignity, refinement and every
feature that an appreciative per
son could possibly require.
