IS IT WORTH

More to you to have a Suit of Clothes that fit than one that doe9 not? If it is, you should buy the Roberts-Wicks Co.'s clothing, which we sell. We do not charge

Anything Extra

For the fit. We sell this high art Clothing at just as low prices as you pay for the same quality of cloth and trimmings made up in a much inferior manner by the common manufacturer.

To Have a Suit

Of Clothes that do not fit is a great aggravation, no matter how fine the material of which it is made. No man of anywhere near ordinary build ever complains of the fit of a Roberts-Wicks Co.'s Suit.

THat Pits!

Is tho exclamation of nearly every man when he first gets into one of these 'suits. And they seem surprised, notwithstanding I tbtf fact that we have been telling of the superior fit of these suits for lo, these many months. We have the latest patterns and colors of cloth made up the latest styles.
