Merchant Tailor-made Suits Are
the Most Economical
it bcs been olthuec' wfly-mada clothe p chenncst bo-
cause tluj are made m quantities. 'Ibis is not true.
It the manufacturer could have people come to his factory
and buv there, he could not even then give good value because
of the poor quality of material and inferior workmanship.
To the original cost of the garment, the manufacturer must
pay traveling salesman's expenses and then the retailer adds an
other profit of about 40 per cent.
The original "quantity price" Is thereby lost and the price is
higher than that of a carefully mcrchaitf tailored suit made here.
Come in and let us show you the economy of suctom-made
clothes.
