Twenty-five dollars isn't . much
money to spend for a suit
of clothes; when you come to know what
first-class quality of materials and tailoring,
and what restfulness of mind as to style
that price commands, you'll almost think it
isn't enough to pay.
Young men especially want smart
style; and Hart Schaffner & Marx have
the style problem so perfectly worked out,
we advise any man to put his money, and
himself into one of their $25 suits.
We have clothes at $ 18
