men in that town of many achievements There is no denying the fact that Aurora is a welldressed town We believe that if a con test were held here for sartorial efficiency and there were clas sifications made in respect of age that Clifford Griffiths popu lar manager of Royal theatre would be right at the top among the younger generation Clifford has exceptional taste in style and color and carries himself with an air of self- assurance that must give satis faction to his tailor Among the older generation shall we say the octogenarian class we hardly think there would be any doubt among the judges as to the winner We think the prize would go to George Young Maple St Mr Young is one of those men who will never grow old He has an invincible capacity for keeping young He is one of the most latelydressed men we have ever known His favorite colors ap pear to be blues and greys in suits Blue and cream shirts and a somewhat rakish variety of colors in ties are among his ensemble We
