We have for a Jong time studied and ex- perimented to supply a long-felt want to our customers and the public, and appre- clating the fact that the every-day com- plaint of an Imperfect - Fitting SHIRT Could be as easily done away with ag in the case of our READY-MADE CLOTHING, Which is as perfect in fit as that furnished by any merchant tailor, requiring’ only the study and experience which a life-time ap- prenticeship has taught the proprietors of the PUTNAM. We contend that an imperfect-fitting Shirt carries more discomfort and: causes more dissatisfaction in a man’s business and athishome than all others combined. A man rises late in the morning, and with an | Imperfect-fitting, Uncomfortable SHIRT, Which is a Constant Annoyance, He finds the time he has spent has made him fate, He then complains his breakfast is not cooked properly; the doors slam; in short, nothing is right. Feeling that we had it in our power to wipe out these many obstacles to the com~ fort and happiness of our fellow-man in this direction, we have embarked in this new en- terprise, and we are now prepared to furnish the thousands of patrons of the PUTNAM with the PUTNAM SHIRT! _PERPECT-FITTING, And Guaranteed in Every Particu- lar to Fil Every Requirement. The character and long-established repu- tation of the PUTNAM is sufficient guaran- tee that its assertions will be made good in this particular, as the style and fit of our Shirts which we make to order will verify. This new departure is but another illus- tration of the unlimited experience of our manager in perfecting and organizing this | department, and supplying the public with a long-felt necessity, and adda new laurels te the past history and bright future of the PUTNAM CLOTHING HOUSE, 131 and 138 Clark-st, and 11?
