A Tie for which you pay a small price is not necessarily

cheap in value received. It may bear the undesirable look of cheap- ness when you wear it.

A good Tie, while it may cost more, will be altogether more pleasing in service-and it will always look what it is.

Such a conspicuous part of your attire suggests the wisdom of selecting a quality that compliments both your taste and your knowledge of values.
