Plenty of men would like to, but imagine that it necessitates a tailor and a price which they can’t afford. They have gone on from year to year buying the ordinary over-the-counter clothes—suits made in sweat shops, and designed by some inexperienced cutter at fifteen dollars a week. Why not change all that. Why not at least take the trouble to try on a Clothcraft suit, and see for yourself if it isn’t better? When we tell you posltlvcly that Cloth- craft Clothes. are designed by high- priced designers, cut and handled by the most expert workmen that high wages and a model factory can pro- cure, and moreover made ‘absolutely and exclusively from all-wool fab- rics, remember that we are simply stating facts.
