| TEXT | S. Hexter and W. W. Stien, Proprietors. By the term "misfit" the trade denominates all clothing left on the merchant tailors' hands, and about one-eighth of which is really misfits. That is, in the large stock carried by the house of S. Hexter & Co. about one-eighth of it only is really misfits, while the balance, seven-eights, comes from the merchant tailors. Often gentlemen ordering suits or garments and paying a deposit thereon are unable to pay the balance. This may occur in numerous ways and for various reasons. It may be sickness, unexpected loss, failure to realize expected cash, or reckless extravagance. There are times also when the tailor fails to satisfy in fit and finish. Rather than offend and lose a good customer, he will throw the offending garments among the misfits and make others that will give satisfaction. The best dressed are the most particular. If an ordered suit does not fit them exactly, they won't take it, so it is from the best customers that the misfit clothing originates. For these reasons "The Misfit Parlors" of this popular and enterprising firm can offer the best class of goods at figures far below their real value, as it is able to purchase such goods at less than actual cost. These gentlemen are also prepared to pay cash for all such misfits, as every tailor is aware. This firm, though only in existence since May, 1882, now carries a stock of 30,000 worth of goods and does a business at the rate of 150,000 per annum. Besides the large stock of gentlemen's clothing of all kinds always on hand to suit all classes, it also carries children's goods of all kinds and descriptions, and is prepared to give entire satisfaction in cut, fit, style, quality of goods, workmanship, and prices, to all classes, conditions, and ages who need anything in its line. The gentlemen comprising the firm are both Philadelphians, young, earnest, energetic, wide-awake, enterprising businessmen, who have conducted their enterprise in such a manner as to already gain the confidence of the public. |
