The simple fact that nearly all of them now depend" up6n a Custom Tailor of their own choosing, usually one in their home town, is sufficient evidence to prove that they know from experience how to buy clothes to best advan­ tage. The best advice that can be given to those who doubt their own ability to choose wisely, is this; Patron­ ize the best Custom Tailor you know and order iToxn him the best grade of cloth and workmanship thai vou^n afford, leaving all details to hint, J k I' J.
