WE want to tell you a little about th? idea back of Bischof models. The makers of Bischof models get the Paris and Berlin styles but they don’t stop there. I They believe there is a higher standard than pure style —that is style and service combined. What’s fashionable in Paris is studied and the ideas carried out, the effect reproduced but ia serviceable, practical suits —the kind American life of today demands. The taste expressed, the discrimination used in selecting only what is suitable has made Bischof models nationally popular. It is a significant fact that the leading Fashion Journal after a close study of the taste of American woqien, sketched a Bischof model for their Fall Fashion Number.
