WHEN CLOTHING STORE

Source: Greencastle Banner, Greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana 21 December 1882

Who has not hear of the "When Clothing Store"? And what a civilizing effect has a new coat! Take the crossest man in the county, invite him to take a walk to the "When" and when there exchange his old coat for one of their nobby new garments and, presto change, you have a new man! Where before there were frowns and sneers, you now have a smiling countenance. Fact! Try it, and you will be convinced. And it will be an interesting study to watch the rays of happiness radiate from that face to the rest of the family. Such bliss can no more be pent up in one breast than can the fires of Vesuvius be confined after an eruption has begun. The "When" has a veyr large and most complete stock of goods, representing everything worn by men, youths and children, at very low prices. Indeed, it takes such a small sum of money to buy a respectable outfit of clothing here, that one can scarce afford to wear his "old clothes," and the temptation is strong to buy a new suit frequently. THe gentlemen's furnishings at this establishment are also attractive in price and quality, as are their hats of every style worn. There is scarcely an article in the large stock that would not make an appropriate present.   --- kbz
