Becauseit is very strong in the pitcher's pusition and all the players unite in saying that Victor E. Adler's Ten Per Cent Clothing House is the best place in America to secure good clothing at reasonable prices. 142. Because its catchers are excellent backstops and terrors to base stealers, just as Victor KE. Adler's Cloth- ing House is a terror to old, fogy, high-price dealers. 3. Because its short-stop, although small, is a man of great Force in his position. And this shoud remind the residents of Washington that, although Adler's prices are low, he sells nothing but good, serviceable material and well-made garments, 4. Because there is a Gladman in the team and thou- sands of glad men in the city because Adler is selling good clothing at a very small figure above actual man- ufucturing cost. 5. Because its infield 1s a stone wall from which there ls no escape for “liners,” “daisy cutters” and “rattling hits.” Tt takes fine fleeing as well as hard batting to win games, ang the reason why Adler'sTen. Per Cent Clothing House Is the best place to buy is be- cause you are always sure of obtaiping there the best of clothing at the lowest possible cost. 6. You may say, “Oh, Shaw!” after reading the ‘above, but the fact remains that if you “strike out” to buy youcan speedily reach the “home plate” of low prices by comliig direct to Adler's Ten per Cent Cloth- ing House, which that most reliable of all umpires, “Public Opinion,” declares is the place you can safely inVest ypur cash and be certain of obtaining full value for every dollar you expend.
