every way, and very fine and
light. The only possible OBJ
lection to them IL that they
are easy to tear; and that APP
plies to all that are fine and
light. The coarser, heavier,
stronger cloths cost less, of
course. The rubber coating
is better on fine cloths.
These 81 gossamers, perfect
every way, announce a new
condition of things in rubber
clothing. What is it? Rubber
overgarments black and ugly
are giving place to rubber
overgarments with all the
color and beauty of diess-stuffs.
The black are as good as ever;
but there's something else as
good and prettier. The black
are going to be worn in the
lower grades of cloth; but
there's going to be no sale for
costly black. The maker and
merchant who have no costly
black on hand are fortunate.
One of the most distin-
guished makers of gossamer
clothing has a stock of these
81 or SIS garments. He thinks
the sooner they are sold the
better for him; and so we get
them for less than half their
recent value. .....
Besides, that maker makes
the new ones, the pretty ones,
the checks and stripes and
spangles, the colors and frost
work.
He is willing to turn his
loss on his remnant of costly
black to account of advertis-
ing the hew ones, the pretty
ones, the checks and stripes
and spangles, the colors and
frost-work; and SO we got
both the old and new.
The new, the colors, cost 81
to $l6,50; extravagant per-
haps. Well, women are tx
travagant.
The old, the costly black, go
down to $2--while they last.
by tile middle Marketstroet door.
Crazy Grape continues the
first among the bargains. A
stuff of fashion still in the
height OF favor-also a solid
and pleasant cloth. When.
ever we mention it, we think
of ladies'-cloth-that splendid
dollar ladies' cloth that we
are selling tons of for seventy
five cents; it is like that ladies'
cloth, and it isn't like it.
Crazy Grape was dollar stuff
too-now fifty cents and fifty
inches wide. There never
; was such a bargain-a stuff as
good, or about as good, MS that
! dollar ladies', cloth, and fifty
cents
! Enough for a dress, ST.!
enough of the ladies' cloth,
S4.5Ol The latter trife the
WIDER doubtful which is the
e better. We said a month ago
the ladies'-cloth was the l,ir-
/ gest bargain we ever heard Of
n IN trade. But think of the
Crazy Grape!
