COLLARS

hoosing a collar is as important as choos- ing a suit of clothes. A collar--apparently so trivial a thing--has power to make or mar a man's whole appearance. For nothing so readily and so visibly strikes the dominant note of his per- sonality. It is not sufficient to secure your "size"--you need that exactitude of fit which only the SUMMIT "

range can give if you are to enjoy perfect ease and consciousness that your collar

is really worthy of the wearer.
