Did You Ever
consider how intimate is the com
radeship between a man and his
Suit, Hat and Shoes ?
Where one goes, there goes the
others. The longer they are ac
quainted the better they like each
other and the more inseparable they
become.
From the day of purchase there is
a mellow atmosphere about an Ed.
V, Price Suit, a Hardeman Hat and
a pair of Florsheim Shoes—something
easy, intimate and comfortable—some
thing which induces the feeling of
dependableness.
The spring lines are here. Come
in and look them over.
