Youth. Dress and Economy.
Economy is the first element of
success. Nd,- young man necds three
or four suite of clothes. Two are
enough. The only thought a young

of his clothes-rebate, suits. underwear,
shoes. 9iC.'—fll, the lowest price. Their
ridiculous dress more than anyth'ng
else provts that our boys need some-
one to keep them in check.
Every young man should watch the
clothing market as closely as a suc-
cessful Wall street broker watches
the stock market. Let him be on the
lookout for bargains and he is foster
ing a business trait which augurs will
for his mecess.
The boy who trains himself to look
out for bargains in wearing apparel
will know how to get bargalna in
stocks if he ever goes into Well
