No one ever thinks Of coming to New York
in search of novelties IN dry goods, or for
bargains without visiting the famous house
of Messrs. Ridley & Sons This is truly q
wonderful store, or rather village Of stores,
| for it covers as much space as some small
villages. All sorts and kinds of dry goods
are to be found here, and / wish could take
some of my readers through this immense
establishment and see them open their eyes.
The sight is certainly bewildering. The
department for dress goods contains pile
upon pile of all the new fashionable spring
and summer materials, cheaper than can be
found elsewhere in our city, and the beauti-
full suits, made in the most fashionable styles
are sold almost as low as 1t costs lady Il
buy her material, and they are cut and made
in the neatest manner from the most stylish
models. A good quality in summer silk sui

to measure for $1s.75, and without the lac,
for $l6.75. The same style in cream, ligh
blue, pink or white bunting, trimmed witt
lace and made TO order for $l4.
The suit department is replete with tn
latest spring novelties for ladies, misses ant
children of all sizes, and the millinery de
lpartment is the largest of the kind in thi
city. Every thing that one can possibl.
imagine in millinery goods, including flow
ers and pompons, are sold lower than hav
found them elsewhere.
