Here we had a whole new assort- ment of Society Brand college clothes. We thought they were good. But they were brand new models for Fall —and we weren’t quite sure how college men would take to them. So when they began coming in last week for their Fall outfits, we spread out these clothes before them. We showed them the full, straight coats with easy shoulders. We pointed out the three-button effect with long spaces between but- tons. They slipped on a few coats. “Well,” “is this the right cut? Can Society Brand de- sign college clothes?” We waited eagerly for the answer. It came we asked, with broad grins. don’t worry!

WATCH OUR WINDOWS FOR DAILY SPECIALS mzmmmuzuzmmmz:zz p 3 § : § I i ‘ Lesson No. 1 this Fall is that Parker’s New Model Duofold Introduces Pressureless Writing, and stays in perfect order or we make it good free —see standing offer below. Pressureless Writing is something you've always wanted. It results from combining capillary attraction with gravity flow. This requires a fine channel between the prongs of the point. We grind it by hand, though the work is costly and few can do it. But it gives us a point that writes as no point ever wrote before. A feather-weight touch to paper is enough to start it instantly and to keep it going. And this point yields to every hand but never loses shape. ‘We now make the Duofold barrel of Parker’s Non-Break- able Permanite —28% lighter than rubber formerly used. It comes in 5 color combinations of jeweplike lustre and beauty — Jade, Lacquer-red, Lapis Lazuli Blue, Mandarin Yellow, Flashing Black and Gold—all with smart Black Tips.
