That $2,75 Silk Umbrella again,
When a good thing comes
into market the first thing to
follow it is an imitation, or
rather, more plainly, an infe-
rior article, at a slig h I'll y
lower price. The 26-inch
Silver-headed Silk Umbrella
at S2.75 belonged properly at
a higher price, but we made
the price low to ward off all
limitations, with what success
can be seen in the fact that
we have just received an
other hundred and fifty. We
believe that equal value can
not be purchased in this or
