Individuality and
Distinction.
There are cloths of many kinds and each has it's imitation. These in wear cannot compare with the genuine article either in appearance or shape. At "Powell's"
you are assur- ed of the genuine pure wool cloth, weather it is a "Flannel. Cheviot, Worst- ed or Scotch Tweed. If you wear your Powell Suit for two, three or more" seasons. it will always look well. The Tailored Suit at "Powell's," made from genuine cloth, costs less than the heavily padded factory made garment that would fit the next fellow better than yourself.
Have a Tailored Suit this Autumn and be sure
of securing Individuality in your Suit.
