That it has now, however, shown itself plainly is an indication that the workers, with such earnestness as they are displaying, are bound to accomplish their object. This object the writer in the last.

The tailor is truly gifted who combines these ideas and properly satisfies each demand. In one garment one tailor has accomplished this.

Thompson, the patentee, has, from small beginnings, become the largest merchant tailoring firm in our country, chiefly through the merits of this single specialty, even at height prices. Now that he introduces them as a ready-made...
