We realize that, as the poet says, "A man's a man for a' that." * 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 oy a Michaels-Stern suit that would cause the first friend you met to con gratulate you on your improved appearance.
