Clothes
make the man
if the right man makes the
clothes
Here are clothes that are not
foppish nor rakish nor obtru

style, yes. But its style
founded squarely on
good taste.
They are the kind that do a
man credit. They make him stand
out as well dressed without mak
ing him conspicuously dressed.
Mr. Henry Sonneborn, whose
portrait is shown above, was the
▼. v * vVw J r \0

first clothing manufacturer in America. His organization to-day
is the largest in the world devoted to the making of men’s cloth
ing. This organization specializes on the perfection of a single suit—
STYLEPLUS CLOTHES $17. The result is a suit of clothes having all-wool fabrics, high
grade linings and trimmings—stylishly cut, scientifically made at a price much lower than
you can buy an equally good suit made by old-fashioned methods.

i j On 2let, 1913, about two
hour departed this life after a linger
ing illness. Mr. Barbour’s health
had been failing for sometime, and
it was realized, when he became con
fined to his bed some six weeks ago,
that he couldn’t live long. He was
cne of the unfortunate victims of
that dreadful malady-tuberculosis. He
was a kind and loving father and
husband and a faithful son. He liv
ed an uncomplaining life worthy of
commendation. He would have been
thirty-three years of age next May.
All that loving hands could do was
done; all that affectionate hearts
could sacrifice for his comfort and
good was sacrificed. But, he was in
the over-ruling hands of the Divine
Maker who gave him life, and he de
parted at his bidding.
He was survived by a wife and
hree children, father and mother—
Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Barbour—a broth
er, Mr. T. C. Barbour, and a sister—
Miss Polly Barbour. The sympathy
: of the entire community goes out
to the family and the bereaved ones
in this great sorrow. ‘Tis hard to
part with him, but let us feel that
our loss is bis eternal gain.
