Every man wears a shirt, therefore this is interesting. Every man likes a good. shirt, one that fits in the body, does not cut under the arms, and touches the legs. In many years experience I Reve dealt . with people who liked good Shirts, but who, because of their pocket "book, had to content themselves with poor ones. Therefore when one of the leading Shirt Manufacturers in Canada offered me the trav- cller's samples ata discount, I looked them ver. with curiosity. The first thing that arrested my investigation was that these Shirts were as clean as the day they left the factory. Th next thing that.charmed me 'was the wonderful variety of colours and designs, and T fell, not only for my own good, but for my customers. There are 400 Shires, and unfortunately only in. sizes 14%, I5 and 15%; It is a young man's or a slim man's deal. I am sorry that no fat man can apply. Now I am going to expose. these Shirts for sale on Saturday. The factory cost is on the Shirts, and I am going to sell them at this factory cost, plus sales tax and freight. I am going to Teave this open for one week, and then any unsold will go into regular stock. These are not cheap Shirts, these are stylish Shirts and sold from the factory with- out the intervention of the middleman, And just one thing more: my modesty forbids telling the details, but I stole these from' under the nose of one of Winnipeg's largest stores. ; Lovely Souvenir China Just arrived a a ER ATA you don't ALY me or any other average citizen to If has come at last--the ram I have much sympathy with a law which A i » ) medn--and everyone is rejoicing.
