It means a good deal in clothing, but more mistakes are made in picking out a suit on account of mistaken judgement, ‘A man naturally picks out a pattern that “takes his his eye,” and rather overlooks the points that he ought to consider— quality—the inside parts. A great deal depends on the man who is selling the garment. The purchaser isn’t supposed to bea judge. He dosen’t always know whether the suit fits. He considers the price; but priceis not alwayea cer- tain indication of quality. Better come where you're told honestly about these things. K.N. & F, made clothing is honestly made inside and out, and is the natural selection of the wan who knows good tailoring quality. Prices are ¢.. stent with the quality.
