A man’s physical conformation should govern the selec- tion of his suit, There are any number of models, which divide approval, sothere is a sufficient latitude to choose the garment most becoming to your personality and still remain in fashion. We exhaust the subject. There are single breasted sacks in six distinct new models and double breasted sacks in equal number. Each the best of their type. Suits that commend themselves to the man with a taste for the ele- gant in dress. Our “Concave” Shoulder lends a tone of dis- tinction which is not approached in ordinary, ready-made clothing, Its height and breadth and shapeliness is the result of careful modelling by hand; it is not stuffed with superfluous wadding like the ordinary shoulder. And it will always hold its shape. Our “Closefitting” Collar is another important feature that we have put into all of our Fifteen Dollar Suits for Men. At $15 we present suits in six single and double breasted sack models, a series which is notable for character and worth, The suits concerned are of blue and black Thibets, blue and black serges, un- finished and smooth surface worsteds in all the new gray tones, from very light to very dark gray.
