Considers His Appearance
Tailoring is an important item of a man’s suit
of clothes. Regardless of how fine the material,
how carefully selected the lining and trimming—
if the workmanship isn’t right the suit isn’t going
to be right and, naturally, you want your fall
suit right; therefore, visit this store and let us
show you the new SOCIETY BRAND fall suits
recently arrived.
