THE MEN'S SUIT BUSINESS IS VERY DIVERSIFIED!

-

Some men are buying those good. A looking, long wearing, smooth worsteds— others incline to the softer Shetlands or Tweed types that have an outdoorish accent. They're buying Single Breasted : and Double Breasted Suits—(right now at a ratio of 65 S.B. to 35 D.B.). Three-piece Suits and 2-piece Suits — both are getting a good break! There are even Seersuckers being sold (we noticed quite a few of them on their way to a fitting trip to the Alteration Room).

a | Some men choose to pay $35 for a Suit

“wand you ought to see the amazingly

good, that's right, all wool worsted

Fa (3-piece) Suits that are here at that price.

Others are inclined to go all the

way up the price scale.

But diversified as they are—they all have one thing (3 things) in common— (|) they are, without exception, fine— (2) they will give you deep satisfactions— (3) they are “the best at your price—no matter what the price”
