prising Underwear, Corsets,
Walking Skirts, Aprons, &c.
There is no branch of our
business to which we give
more attention, being desir-
Gus of placing before our
customers the very best the
A IN eri C an and European
markets afford.
To what extent we have
succeeded we leave to your
discriminating judgment, feel
ing confident that eventually
you will find out who has the
right goods at the right prices.
Constantly endeavoring to
improve the standard Of quail
ity without affecting the price,
we have secured a stock Of
Corsets second to none in
this country, and have COM
bined quality, style, ease, and
gracefulness with low prices,
to such advantage that to-day
our values are unapproached.
For instance, we sold a brand
of Corsets a few years ago
at $2.25 with comparative
success, but to-day we offer
you the celebrated 81. c."
French a la Persephone Cor
set, which is unquestionably
its superior, at SI.5o. Other
dealers are yet hanging to
the $2.25 Corset.
Again, we sold a Corset
which at that time we thought
unrivaled, at 1915.
To-day we offer you its
equal, If not its better, at
$3.50, and a lady who had
been elsewhere and priced a
similar one, could hardly be-
lieve we had named the price
Alright. We believe in giving
credit to whom credit is due,
and believe to us is due the
credit of having secured the
best stock Of easy, glove-ht.
ting Corsets ever displayed
in this or any other city.
Ladies Muslin Underwear
too, has had the same care
and attention which charac-
terizes our buying of Cor.
sets. Take two pieces o

They are to the uninitiatec

How about the sewing anc
