CUSTOM TAILORING DEPT. 
It is- with pleasure that we note the tendency this season of ladies desiring to have all their 
garments custom made. This is as it should be. Having departed from the ungainly, ill-fitting, 
patterns of old, the present styles not only allow women to wear garments beautiful to the beholder, but 
they are of positive pleasure to the wearer. What can be more comfortable in starting on a visiting 
trip or on a pleasure tour, than the knowledge that one’s garments are splendidly tailored, perfect fitting 
and of the best quality. 
All these three important advantages are gained by having garments custom made. 
For years Gloucester and Cape Ann needed an establishment that supplied such garments; and in 
the five years we have been here we have not only earned the friendship and patronage of all local 
women, but many of their friends from far out of town districts have come to us for their best Suits and 
Coats. 
It is with the desire to acquaint ladies of the other North Shore towns 
with our establishment that we advertise in this journal; and nothing in 
our power will be left undone to more than please all ladies favoring us with 
a visit. 
Further than this, we make the following offer : — 
We will make to order a Suit or Coat for any lady ordering same, of 
any material desired, in any style chosen ; and we will neither ask nor ex- 
pect the garment to be accepted unless it is perfectly satisfactory in 
every particular. Can there be anything more fair than this? 
For styles we have the leading models of such world-famed designers 
as Paquin, Ignace, Artus Paillard, Gerson, Pach, Hermann Muller and 
Anton Calvayrack. 
For Materials we have the very best productions of European and 
American Mills. We also make garments of your own goods. 
SUITS Made to Order at $25, $30, $35, $45 and up to $85. 
COATS Made to Order at $18.50, $22.50, $25 and up to $65. 
SKIRTS Made to Order at $7.50, $10, $15, and up to $35. 
Nae Special Offer for ONE WEEK aay 
To ladies placing an order for a Suit or Coat within one week of date of this issue, 
we will return all their cost of railroad fares in coming to order, trying the garment on and 
taking it when finished.
