GILMER IS CONSIDERED
A WELL DRESSED TOWN
Paul Young, the tailor, says
there are the best prospects for
a large business in made to-
measure suits this fall than he
has ever known before. Gilmer

local tailors say that they re-
ceive more orders for high grade -
suits from Gilmer than from any
other city of its rise in the .
