Dublin Progr
tty in Young Men's Clothes
You want your clothes produced
by skill of the first grade. If they
are not, their style, fit aud appear?
ance will not last.
The talus of every manufactured
article depends upon the honesty,
skill and care of the makers. The
quality of clothing is especially
measured by these things. .
The clothing we sell has been
produced by makers whose methods,
experience and ability excel. There
are none fehose product can be sold
at so reasonable a price and Htill
carry with that price such merit
and excellence.
We sell this make exclusively in
this city. If you get it, you must
get it here. If you buy another
brand, you get a grade less than
the best.
