Your Hubby's
Clothes
WE respectfully suggest that
you create the opportunity
this evening to say a few words
to that "dsar fellow" of yours
about his new Fall ready-to
wear suit.
ft may be that he has not, on account of the press of business matters,
giwn much thought to the kind of a suit he ought to have.
You know what a great advantage it will be for him to obtain a suit
that will' be shape-retaining and be stylish and "ttewish" looking despite
hard wear. Yet it simply requires a garment that is made right in the first
place ? that* is actually tailored and not merely sewed together.
The? there are- clothes which are styled by masters in the designers'
profession. These are also better fitting garments.
Naturally any clothes makers who produce a great quantity of clothing
will get the choicest of the mills* woolens for the season.
Where can sucte clothing lie had? It's here. T?ll your husband to
ask to see our ALCO CLOTHES/' They are in a class?by themselves^ the
