Even We Admit
thatl there are more important things in the wjorld than
having the right chothes. We realize that, as the poet
says, "A man's a man for a' that."
I _
? But, unfortunately, people will judge a fellow by the way he looks ?
? *
and even more unfortunately, lots of fellows don't look as well
dressed as they might. It isn't because they don't want to, or because
, they don't try, it's because they don't know how or where to get gar
ments that will bring out the best of them and hide the worst of them.
We don't say that we can (because it wouldn't be modest) but we are
morally sure that we might show you a Hart-Schaffner & Marx or a
Michaels-Stern suit that would cause the first friend you met to con^
gratulate you on your improved appearance.
