One shawl we'd like one sort
of people to see; people who
judge everything by price or
place; people that can hardly
be got to look at any
thing out Of London or Paris,
unless an 'extravagant price is
on it. There are a few such
people in Philadelphia. Some
of them happen to glance at
an advertisement now and
then; not to buy of us; Of
course-they only buy kitchen
furniture and carpet-tackshere
but to see what's going on; the
news-evefybody reads the
news.
Will Miss Flora McFlimsey
be SO gracions as to look at
that shawll That particular
shawl is so clear a case of
splendid, extraordinary, won-
derful embroidery, that neither
price nor place, nor both
together, can spoil it. 1t
may be the finest piece of
India needle-work in the city,
though there's many a shawl
in Philadelphia that cost the
fair owner two or three thou
sand dollars. I'VE didn't say
anything about the fair seller.
We're not going to say that, it
isn't fair to charge enough for
thingsto satisfy Miss Flora that
the things are nice. We're
not going to say anything
about our neighbors anyway.
We're talking about shawls.
Is there another SO large, so
light, so fine, socqual, so even,
SO gentle, so quiet, and yet SO
glorious from center to very
fringe, with one continuous,
perfect and increasing blaze of
splendor! But it cost so little,
that we really can't charge
more than ST., 900 for it. II
we werS not afraid Miss Flora'd
buy it, We might mark it
$4,000 or $4,000, Just to
humor these people. But sup
pose then it should get out that
that the shawl cost US only
$3.50; what'd become Of our
standing with the other people,
who trade with us because
they believe that we sell every
thing for the barest fraction
over cost ! We're going to
stick to these latter people;
there are SO many of
'em. $1,000 for the shawl
The other thousands shall not
tempt us
