Good style in clothes
VOU appreciate the import
ance of correct style in your
clothes; but you probably
couldn't say just what correct
style is.
Style means so many things
that very few men can describe it; two suits, for exam
ple, might differ very decidedly in detail, and yet both
be correct in style.
Style isn't any one thing; its a general "air" but
whatever it is, you want it.
Please take notice of the model we show here. It's
graceful form fitting lines, the peaked lapel, the close
fitting sleeve head and shoulders, and the trim fitting
trousers.
This is only one of many models you have to choose
in here and all the newest fabrics.
It will be good news to you to know that we have not
as yet raised the price on a single suit or spring coat.
We are offering you the genuine Oswego serge, guaran
teed color, at $ 1 7 and other styles in proportion. In
the face of high prices you need not worry about your
clothes costing you any more if you come here for them
the present season.
New ties
this week? yes.
