In Between

You know that period of the year, both now and again in the Spring when our climate is uncer tain. Some mornings and evenings are cold, but not cold enough to need an overcoat, yet an extrâ garment is needed.

For this "in between " season a “BRAEMAR” Woolliɛ or Pull- over micets the requirement,

Made in Scotland in pure wool in a delightful range of colours and designs, and being "Scotch" Kait they are sturdily made to withstand hard wear. The very thing, too, for wear after a strenuous round of Golf or a hard set of Tennis.
