Under a spring sky and seated high on a fine steed, your queen for a day. There is nothing like riding for fun and glorious exercise. Rates have come down considerably too, so that they are within the range of everyone, and if you are going to adopt a hobby this spring make it riding. I know a shop where you can purchase your entire habit for less than $13, and that includes a smart tailored jacket, beautifully made breeches of whip cord with genuine suede kneecaps, and a pair of popular English model all leather riding boots, with full leather lining and solid grain leather inner and outsoles. Write me for name and address. It’s the weather for riding, the time, and the smart thing to do.

I’ve always been secretly amused at the way most men become so deeply attached to their old clothes, particularly their old hats. Young’s, those hatters of authority, have sized up the situation nicely and have made their spring hats so attractive that every man will want to discard his old “Storm King” for one of thir new models. You may buy your Stetson at Young’s with the confidence that it is backed by a tradition of excellence, for the past 60 years.
