Master
of the
Situation
When you enteradoth
ing shop impressed with
the advantages ofaStein
Bloch summer suit, you
will encounter a salesman
who has made a study of
clothes and men.
If it be a store whfre
the Stein-Bloch clothes
ire sold, he will fit you and
fit you properly.
If it is not such a store
and you are not master of
the situation, he will be.
He knows the esteem
n which Stein-Bloch
clothes are held, but it is
his legitimate purpose to
sell the clothes he has for
sale.
With his art of per
suasion he may influence
you to purchase some
other kind and then, by
1 actual comparison with
Stein-Blochr clothes, you
see the difference in cloth,
in style, in fit and in wear
and realize too late what
you have missed.
You insist upon seeing
the label at your grocer's
or your tobacconist's
why not in your clothes ?
Stein-Bloch clothes are
sold at your best clothiers'.
If not, send to us for
" Smartness."
