DONT FORBID
The Boy's
Play
Don't make the mistake of
saving clothes at the expense
of the boy.
Nature tells him to play, and
the more intense his play the
closer he lives to nature.
WHat if he does wear out
his clothes? Furnish him with
clothes built for hard wear
We have such clothes,
??strong, serviceable, last
ing fabrics, well put to
gether to resist the rough
useage that the normal
boy always gives his
clothes.
For clothing that lasts,
and gives perfect satisfac
tion while being warm, see
us. It's here, and it's eco
nomical.
