I have tried to wake up Mr. Snooze and Mr. Sleep, who were doing business on the ‘‘wait-till-he-comes-in’’ style, letting the 1 who spend thousands of dollars yearly advertising, steal all the trade. I have succeeded in awakening the tailors of New York, thereby benefiting the citizens of New York. Tailors whose advertising read : ---$35--$-40’’ are to-day copying Mitchell The Tailor’s ads. and trying their best to meet his prices.
