The Right Clothes for Graduation Day HEN your son graduates from the high school, or academy, you'll want to see that he makes as good appearance as the occasion deserves. It's a pretty important event for him; and he wants to look at his best. It's an important event for you, too; your boy is corning into "man's estate."
We feature clothes that are especially designed for graduates; they're youthful in lines; we call them "Prep" suits; not the same as for older young men or for the high school principal or President of the Board. We have clothes for them, too; but the young graduate wants something different.
We can supply it; in a large variety of fabrics and colors; a belted coat if you wish or a plain sack;single or double breasted models; they're all stylish and right. The men and young men in our illustration show how we can clothe different types; a fit for every figure.
Shirts, hats, hosiery, neckwear everything vou need for the occasion.
