Fletcher is one of the (if not the) — foremost

tailors of clothes in the Junior clothing world.

He studies boys' needs and he follows through

praiseworthy. For instance,

look on the inside of each Suit — and you will see

generous seams that can be eased out —

He has a natural bent for selecting good looking, fine fabrics — that hold the shape and life and drape he tailors into them — Particularly you

And accomplishments mean nothing unless they go deep into a city's life—giving it strength and direction—building a better and ever better community.

Now we shall not attempt to editorialize. Other pens, far more gifted, can more fittingly appraise your vast civic contributions.

We think of Indianapolis as the "Heart of America" Indiana as the center of America's industrial life,

We think of the days when Indianapolis was the hub of the fine carriage business—a big factor in the Automobile Industry—acclaimed for great numbers of native craftsmen with inherit

And, we see Indianapolis foday making vast and herole contributions in Winning the War!

We learned at school that

“Large Streams from Little Fountains Flow, Tall Oaks from Little Acorns Grow!”

In 50 years the Manual Acorn has grown into a mighty Oak—that will take on the added grandeur of still greater accomplishments—in its Postwar home.
