A WISE PRECAUTION

The most expensive Coat or Costume looks shabby if it is ill-fitting. Therefore it is a wise precaution to pay great attention to fit. Now, Goodmans, actual manufacturers of Ladies' Coats and Costumes ensure every customer a perfect fit, because if. they have not a perfect fitting coat or costume in their large stocks, they will make one to measure at no extra cost. 124 Armagh.
