WINTER COAT VARIETIES

Winter coats, dressy or sports, are one of the necessities of every- one's wardrobe. Great care and fore-thought should be given to the selection of these garments, particularly if your income is limited.

Pick a winter coat that does something for you. Just any coat of wool to keep you warm is not what you want to invest your money in.

Each person can wear a certain type of coat and with much success in smartness as well as usefulness.
