If you are interested we can show you all the latest models of which this is but one of many. Interna­ tional clothes are always progressive and embrace the very newest Metropolitan ideas. The fabrics for outing suits are extremely dashy and extensive in range and not at all like the stuff you see in ready made appar­ el. They're a trifle more exclusive and that meanb everything to men of taste and re­ finement. To measure only, of course, and at extremely moderate rates. :: Hats, Shoes, Oxfords, Shirts, Collars, Ties and other toggery to complete the outfit. Call and see them.
