MOVED!
I take pleasure in announcing to my friends, patrons and the gen-
eral public that I am now located in the J. P. Crouch brick building on
West Virginia street. This building has been properly equipped for
my tailoring establishment, giving me more room, better conveniences
and in a general way places me in position to give much better service
than in the past. I want you to know that I shall continue to make
COLLIN COUNTY GLOTHE8—the famous inexpensive cotton suits—
GROWN IN TEXAS, MILLED IN TEXAS AND MADE BY TEXAS
LABOR.
And I shall continue to tailor the high grade suits. In saying
"high grade" I do not necessarily mean "high priced" suits, because
you'll find my prices to be as low as can be found anywhere for
clothes of quality. I invite you to call on me at the NEW HOME on
West Virginia street.
