We manufacture in very large quantities, using the latest and most improved labor-saving machinery — 

 small expenses — no expensive city store, elaborate showrooms and expensive salesmen. 



The price at which our shirts are sokl is the very lowest that admits of a moderate profit. We do no baiting. 



We guarantee our goods to wash and wear well and give much better satisfaction than most shirts in the 

 market for which double the price is asked. One great point we make is the size ; we make them to fit the 

 wearer, and above all, we cut the body Wide and Long, thus allowing for shrinkage in washing. 



All shirts are double seamed or felled throughout, with the best six-cord cotton, and are guaranteed not 

 to rip. All goods we sell are Cut and made by us. We have no sewing done in Typhus-breeding tenements, 

 neither do we have our goods cut and made by auction slop-shop methods. Our garments are cut to fit, and no 

 shirking of the cost is allowed by means of scant cutting and inferior making. 



We have no hesitation in saying that our goods are cheaper, quality and making considered, than an 

 inferior quality can be bought for at wholesale. 



Our Madras, Percales, and Cheviots are selected from the stock of many mills, and are the best that are made. 



No deposit is required if order is indorsed by Express Agent, " C. O. D., and all express charges 

 guaranteed." 



Ours is entirely a custom, manufacturing business. We carry no ready-made goods in stock. Everything 

 is new and made to suit the taste or wants of every individual customer.

We consider it something of an honor 

 to the Four Lake country, that there was 

 recently captured in the largest of this cham 

 of exquisite lakes, a small-mouth bass, lo- 

 cally called yellow bass, weighing 8 pounds 

 and io ounces, as attested by affidavit. This 

 fish was taken on a large minnow, off 

 Maple Bluff, Lake Mendota, by Isaac 

 Palmer, during a violent snow storm, about 

 December ist, at which time a large number 

 of smaller bass and several pickerel were 

 taken.

 sent me as a premium, and am delighted 

 with it.
