Johann Hoff’s Malt Extract is na- ture’s own remedy for loss of appe- tite, sleeplessness, imperfect nutri- tion, dyspepsia, etc. A record of over fifty years has proven this to be true. Dr. J. J.

Its use was fol- lowed by marked effects: (1). Food which had hitherto been found to pass the alimentary canal unchanged, digested properly. (2).

Wonder what Mertz will say today. Wonder what Mertz will say today. Well-merited praise is that praise which a ready-made clothier gives to merchant tailoring in the following language: “No matter how good the ready-to-put-on clothing may be, there are always men who want the dainty touches, the often indescribable something that marks the made-to- measure suit.’’ se wasHiNcTON Post, September 28, 1998. We want to give a cordial handshake to our ready-made contemporary who so HONEST- LY expressed himself thus. That’s just what we have always said=--THIS ONE THING WE DO--this indescribable something that makes a man feel and look dressed when he wears a suit made in our estab- lishment, and where is the man who doesn’t want “THE DAINTY TOUCHES” that mark the superior cut and workmanship of MERCHANT TAILORING? Of course made-to-measure clothes are far superior to ready-made--you have not alone our word for it, but you have the word of Messrs. ----=--===-===--, Unexpected, to be sure e=-but “TRUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL.” 3 The combined energies of our large force of workers are concentrated in this one mighty problem of producing CLOTHES TO-PERSONAL-MEASURE of the greatest worth at a cost no greater than you will pay for ready-made. We have always promised you that we would stand as a “mighty bulwark’? between the high prices of the average merchant tailor and the inferior ‘“‘cut by the thousand” garments of the ready-made man. The superiority of MADE-TO-PERSONAL-MEASURE clothes is clearly set forth in the quotation above referred to. Our ready-made brethren have asserted this fact in language so strong that “the who runs may read it.’ Even Webster’s Dictionary could not furnish a plainer definition of the SUPERIORITY of merchant tailoring over ready-made. NOW, in order to further clinch our supremacy as the Value Givers of this city, we have secured from the mill’s representative a superb line of suitings, any one of which is > worth not less than $18.

We want to make the acquaintance of three or » our. hundred men who have been wearing ready-made clothes and who want to secure "THE DAINTY TOUCHES, THE INDESCRIBABLE SOMETHING WHICH MARKS THE MADE-TO-MEAS- / URE SUIT,” which can only be found in the merchant tailored suit.
