There's a real advantage in
choosing your spring suit
or coat early in the season
First you have the pleasure of wearing a
new style garment while it is really new.
There is surely pleasure and not a little
distinction in being among the first to wear the
new modes.
Then, too, you have so much longer to
enjoy being dressed in the season's smart new
fashions a whole season instead of just a
part of it.
It's really economy to buy Wooltex Suits early. The
new styles cost no more now than 6 or 8 weeks later
Our early display ol Wooltex Suits and coals is a most in
teresting exhibis of authoritative fashions for spring, There
are special models for all ages and all types of figurse.
