OUTWARD APPEARANCES
It matters not if he's handsome,
It isn't what's in his head,
But the cut of his suit,
And the style of his hat
And the make of his shoes I'll wed!
Hardly Fair to the Man Himself but certainly a compliment
to his taste in dressing. And that's just what clothes should
be—an outward reflection of the wearer's good judgment^
She'll Like You a lot better this Summer if you buy your new
suit at our shop. No smarter styles were ever shown and
you'll enjoy making your selection.
