Should we not know, then, that they are made right, from material that is worthy of the price ? Of course we know the suits—know them inside and out, so we say: If, after you have worn the suit, you are disappointed in it, bring it in, make your complaint; there are two things waiting for you—your money returned or any repairing you wish. Need we say more of the value of these suits? Boys’ Sailor Suits Mothers will find upon visiting this department that it is full of values for boys of all ages; occasionally we offer a very extreme value such as the following, if you wish to pay a very nominal sum for a suit: Made of a dark shade of blue flannel, tastefully trimmed with white or red braid in rows and designs, the ages run from 3 to 10 years; you will find the suits to your liking, and doubly so to the boy’s; the suits are O5¢ ..
