His successor has not been selected Demand for Benjamin Clothes Forces Cheasty’s to Enlarge Notwithstanding the general ten- dency of the times to retrench and curtail expenses, Cheasty’s Haber- dashery, at Second and Spring, has recently undergone a Change that has more than doubled the capacity of the clothing and hat depart- ments. The great and growing de- mand for the famous Benjamin clothes and the Dunlap hat, for which Cheasty’s has the exclusive agencies, made it absolutely neces- sary to enlarge. Handsome ma- hogany clothing cabinets of the most modern type have been in- stalled. Incloged on all sides, even the top, with heavy French plate glass, customers can see under per- fect daylight and at a glance every Bult in the case. If you were to visit the shop of the highest-priced custom tallor that you know of you would not find as much eare exhibited in the produo- tion of a garment as is taken in the New York shops of Alfred Ben- jamin & Co, Benjamin clothes have a world-wide reputation, and their local Introduction, through the Cheasty Haberdashery, easily made them the favored garments here. The new Spring and Summer models in both sults and overcoats cover the widest possible range of beautiful fabrics, In the making of Benjamin clothes only a lmited| quantity of each pattern is used, thus giving you not only the ad- but of exclusive pattern, one which you are unlikely to see daplicated, Prices are not extravagant, even though the garments are of a superior and distinctive character, At $25 to $35 you can choose suit or overcoat from handsome novelty or plain fabrics of the finest quality, perfectly tailored, and finished with the best linings and trimmings. Under a special concession to Cheasty’s, it 18 now possible to buy a stylish and serviceable Benjamin suit, in plain blue serge and in fancy novelty mixtures, for as low as $18. This season Benjamin has created spectal line of smart models for young men, a complete line of which vantage of a staunch, true fabric, are shown at Cheasty’s.
