LETTER FROM LOCAL BOY

WALTER RANDLE WRITES INTERESTING LETTER FROM AMES, lOWA. Ames, lowa, Oct. 15, 1919. Dear Scott: Received the coat ordered from you several days ago and like it very much. It made a hit with all the fell-ows here at school; they liked it so much that several want coats just like it. One fellow in particular wants one immediately; he will wear about a size 44. You send one right away. Another guy fell for my goodlooking Manhattan shirts and wants one, a good one, not over ten dollars in a size 15%. I guess that shows that Hilliard & Hamill clothes are good clothes. They are regular robbers here in Ames. If a fellow wants to get anything he has to buy a share in the store. Use your own judgment in the selection of the shirt and send the coat right away. You know, Scotty, I didp’tLreally appreciate your store until I got away fi’om it and attempted to buy things some place else. You have the world beat a nice, clean, well selected stock and you don’t soak ’em like they do at other stores. Regards to yourself and Newby, ' Sincerely,

WALT.
