Clothes of
Pedigree
If you were buying an
expensive picture you cl
probably be very careful
about its pedigree—where
it came from, the kind of
reputation the artist had,
all about it generally.
Your spring clothes
ought to be bought the
same way. If you have them made-to-indi-
vidual measure by our famous Chicago tailors,
Ed. V. Price & Co.
they will be superior in every requirement
of style, fit and workmanship—a pleasure
to wear and a satisfaction to own*—but the
cost will be moderate.
The very latest style* and popular
fabrics expressed in over 500 patterns.
