Linen handkerchiefs, half
and two-thirds, enough for
the present. Narrow hem
stitch, pretty printed borders,
red and blue and black. A
hundred, all different. Best
way to represent the quality
is by what they are worth.

mercantile reason for selling
it so; none whatever. An
advertising reason; a good

cloth in the store. But moth

1t isn't possible to over-state
it. One Of the very best of
the dollar cloths for seventy
five cents.
