EATON’S HIGHLAND UNEN ; : and CRANE’S FINE WRITING PAPER Cv^rtsht. 1924, Hart SduffMr a Marx Individuality is one of the m‘o st striking taxings about American men. They insist on expressing their own ideas. They won’t all go to the same church, drive the same kind of car, vote the -same political ticket or wear the same clothes. They simply must be “different." That’s one of the most refresh ing things shout American styles. Von can’t put the men in uniforms. Some like double- breasted clothes; some do not; some like form-fitting styles and some want their clothes loose. The two suits shown above typify the individuality of American styles. At the left is a double-breasted suit, with an indication of the waist line and athletic shoulders. At the right is a two-button easy fitting, loosely draped suit of the modified English type with the buttons widely spaced and the waist line low. Both are correct and both are popular. PR. L. R.
