Overcoats, The NEW OVERCOATS

are here now-theclassiest, nobbiest line of coats ever shpwn by us. Th_ey com- prise the first choice from three of the largest clothing houses in the Dominion,who have confined these lines to ug, and the prices here quot- e will meet and beat any catalogue, or any other house-it matters not where it is.

overcoat, full length, with good quality satin lining, nicely finished throughout.

At l0.00 a swell line of

tweeds, beautiful pattems of good wearing material. This is a coat that is absolutely guaranteed by us-a coat we know will give satisfaction.

heavy wool chinchillas.made in the different shades, also in mixed tweeds, such as greys. fawn and light mottl- ed effects; a coat good enough for any one; a coat having the regular $15.00 value. Our low net “one

price to all" only 12.00.

At l5.00 is probably the

1” strongest overcoat ever

shown here, made from best

quality of English Coating Cloth, beautifully tailored in fit finish and make-up quality of the best tailored work. One

price to all 1500. i

At 16.50 another special value made from English

Chinchillas and Tweeds; all of these coats are made with

reversible collars.
