HAND-TAILORED CLOTHES CAME FIRST AND THEY STILL COME FIRST FRANKLIN SIMON Suits and Topcoats for Men Genuinely Hand-Tailored and Ready " $4500 Our object in featuring a*45 price is to emphasize that our clothes are just as finely hand-tailored at #45 as at #65. It all depends on how far you want to go. An English Cheviot costs more than a native Hockanum, just as it costs more to go to Chicago than to Buffalo. But the same train goes to both places, and the same kind of talent hand-tailors all our clothes. We do not operate on a good, better, best basis. The same man who turns a *6s5 lapel turns a 45 lapel, and he gives it a *65 turn. Once let us show you what fine hand-tailoring really is, and you will want nothing else.
