any special or particular one of them, for a
certain indescribable sameness kind of
trade. mark. is STAMPED in style and fabric up
on the manufactures, and even importations,
of each and every one. This popularity is
due to the fact that the stock is selected TO
please member of the firm or the party in
control of the department. Now Mr.. John
Wanamaker regulates the purchases made for
the Grand Depot upon an entirely different
principle. The tastes of the customers are
consulted and requirements considered, and,
with an earnest desire to please patrons, every
means is brought In force to get such articles
as may be suited to the fancy or purse.
In the manufacturing rooms of the Grand
Depot a few days ago were specimen garments
of every kind, outfits for brides, theatrical
costumes for actresses, neat Quakergarbs and
pretty evening dresses. Among these was an
exquisite party dress the long trained skirt

With every rich costume the stockings
should match, and to supply the demand for
higher grades of hosiery, that department of
the Grand Depot has been supplied with a
large stock of sillsen stockings in the shades
of the new dress materials. Some are beau

plain coorings, and can be embroidered by
the ladies who design wearing them. In
Brettles silk hosiery for ladies and children
there are stockings in French white, ivory,
