You've seen this business grow in ten years from an ordinary country clothing store into a store as good as you will find any where. There are many clothing shops bigger than this, but none have tjetter methods.

We give the very best of service. All who come are treated courteously, and are not importuned to pur chase. We refund money or exchange goods. We give absolutely perfect fits, and we charge extremely low prices consistent with the quality of goods. We ask no more for irstclass merchandise than credit stores charge for truck.

We can do this because of the immense saving we make buying and selling goods strictly for cash. The immense success which you know this store has had, the popularity it now enjoys, speak volumes for the correctness of our business methods and our cash prices. CI The Public has pushed us forward to success because we have taken care of the Public properly. This is a store in which you feel at your ease. When you come to look you are as welcome as when you come to buy.

It is a popular store in every sense the word implies. Right store keeping and the cash method is what has made it so. 4 COTTON TAPESTRY. Six colorings, all of them desirable. It's 5Cinches wide.

Stock ties are made in two sizes only, if they don't fit we will cut them over so you may have a perfect fit, and this with no expense to you. Custom Suits at Ready Made Prices We entered the tailoring business nine years ago because we believed that the high prices of country tailors were unnecessary and represented immense profits.

Our supposition was correct as we have demonstrated by selling good, well made tailor suits for SI 8. It costs no more for a suit cut and made to your measure than it would for a good ready made suit. The reason for this is we can afford to sell custom suits for less profit than ready made as we have no stock to sacrifice at the end of the season as we do with ready made suits. Unless you can be fitted easily with stock suits we advise having them made. We tailor suits that fit and stay fitted.

Cole's Patent Front insures permanency of shape as long as suit lasts. There are hundreds of things in this shop that we never speak of.
