BOXER'S COSTLY CLOTHES.
Jack Sliadkev, though he has lost, his world title, is determined to maintain his name for sartorial elegance. He revealed recently that he pays £SO each for his suits. An enterprising tailor said that he could make an equally good suit for £25 and offered to prove his case. Sharkey, however, contended that a suit costing less than £SO would be unsatisfactory and refused the offer.
Men, it would seem, are no less fond of clothes than the fair sex when circumstances permit. Henry Ford, according to one writer, wears a new suit every day, but it seems unlikely that such a keen man of business would share Jack Shadkey’s views as to the amount it is necessary to expend to obtain a satisfactory suit. It is not always really necessary to pay more to get the best. What better smoke could there be than Red Shield (dark) and Blue Shield (medium). These Hew Zealand tobaccos at their best are toasted to a turn and yet cost only 1/7 per two-ounce tin. The one-pound canisters are even more economical. 42
