Used. but the studied attempt
to fasten the crime on llcnrv brown
has failed. The testimony of 1 >r

that Cohen was killed by a bullet from
a .3H calibre pistol clears both Brown
and McDonald, it being clearly es?
tablished that they used .11 tafibre
pistols In the gun light. It Is all eg. .'
tha* Chief of Police Cantwell nnd
other members of the police force had

Do your clothes lit you so well, look so weil ana weai so well
that they command for you the prestige they ought to help you
hold?
<1 Do you "belong to your clothes" just as mach as they "belong
to you?" is the individuality there?-it ought to be.
Q If you'd ask the question of every well dressed man you met
on the streets today: "Who's Your Tailor?" a surprisingly large
number of them would answer: "Ed. V. Price Company," tailors
who know how to put prestige and progress into clothes.
<5 And these men are not "'fashion plates" merely, but men who
have learned that poorly made clothes are dear at any price, win'..
Ed. V. Price Company clothes are a real asset at a moderate cost.
