One Great Advantage, ladies, you
have in buying kid gloves of 81. G. Berry
& Co. is, that if you get q pair of gloves
from them and they break, split and
tear, you can return them and get an
other pair in exchange. They have them
in all the new spring shades and also
black. They keep none but the best.
