PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 18th, 1885.
Once in a while we ought to
state the general fact that we
have, ten times over, the largest
and best collection of rich and
novel dress-stuffs in town.
Once in a while we ought to
state the other general fact
that we sell such stuffs at fair
prices at first, and put them
down as the season wanes or
they prove unsuccessful. They
are not economical stuffs.
They take no account of money.
But we do not make them
needlessly extravagant.
1t is proper to say these
things to you right here at
home and to you within travel
ing distance Of us. You have
eyes to see with. This isn't
the only store you shop at.
What we say has double force
if you find it impartial, and
double force the other way if
you find it empty Drag.
Ten times the largest va
riety of rich new dress-stuffs;
not needlessly extravagant.
Southwest and southeast of the center.
Think of that counter of
remnants and odd-lot dress
stuffs again.
All the remnants made to-
day, tomorrow 60 to the rem
nant counter. The quickest
stufs to go are the first to
make remnants.
All the last years stufs
whether remnants or not are
there. All the stuffs coming
in for whatever reason that
hinder trade at the dress-stuff
! counters go to the odd-lot
counter.
It's a store by itself; and it
makes the rest of the store a
better store by drawing the
line between old and new, be.
tween fashionable and going
out, between what you would
like if money were plenty and
what you are glad to get for
half or three-quarters.
