Black Cashmeres.

After a most thorough investigation of the subject we came to the conclusion that the very best French cashmeres are those made by Carlier and dyed by Gillaumet. Taking fImness of texture, smoothness of finish weight of wool to the yard and rich lustre ot dye all into account, we found that no other make combined excellence in all these points in so great degree as Carlier, and we de cided that we would keep them regularly in all the grades. In order to get the goods on the best possible terms we imported them direct Gin conjunction with our Buffalo house, and have marked them so that the prices compare favorably with those charged for much less meritorious goods. So far we know, these cashmeres are not sold by any other New Haven dealer; at any rate, we know for certain that they are not imported direct by anyone else here.
