and-wool. If you know what
Satin Berber is, we have said
enough if not, think Of drap
d'ete is a rich and costly stuff.
Satin Berber is like it rich in
appearance not costly. This
particular Satin Berber is ex-
traordinary. That's the word
for it. All colors and black.
Rough homespun armure
and mixtures Of grays and
browns, 25c,; 33-inch. And
that is very cheap indeed.
Smooth mixed homespun,
zoe, 2I-inch not Atwood,
though it looks SO there's cot
ton carded in with the wool.
A very slight dress-stuff, mar
row, not particularly cheap.
A great deal for the money
-54-inch gray homespun,
twilled, neither rough nor
smooth, mot SO pretty as some,
the warp is cotton and not en-
tirely covered lit isn't mean)
37Hc-a great deal for the
money but communicating.
Southeast from the centre; at the Low-Price
hrees-Stufr counter.
Tricot, plain colors and
slightly Aaky mixtures, soc,
36-inch.
Plain open basket-woof
homespun or cheviot, mixtures
OF grays, and woods, and
browns with a sprinkling Of
brighter colors.
Both of these are very
pleasant and useful cloths.
southeast from the centre.
More French sateens; those
pretty printings; those mean
ingless little figures made to
look SO pretty. Twinkle,
twinkle, little start" The
printer must have got his no
ton out of the sky.
Northwest from centre.
Printed linen lawns, IS to
zoe; mostly white and black
grounds; a few cream. All
linen of course; and all Of
them finer than the prices
indicate. We don't believe
that "linen lawns are going to
be worn" this summer. That
puts our prices down. But
there are plenty of women
who know that cotton is never
SO cool. They will wear them.
Printed halflinen batiste,
ecru ground and figures red,
blue and black, r2Hc.
Southwest from tle centre.
The best work yet in muslin
Observation-Disclosures. Better
and better every year for half
a-dozen years. We imagine
there isn't another store in the
country that has taken any
thing like the same course in
underwear. Long ago we
dropped the usual grade Of
work, the grade on which the
bulk of the trade is carried on.
And since that time we've
raised our standard just as fast
as we could get the makers
up.
We take as much pains
with plain work as with any.
We want it exactly right. We
are quite content to lose the
trade that comes ofastonishing
people with styles that need
to be looked at across the
street. The bulk of our stock
IS OF such as women of quiet
tastes prefer.
There's a notable novelty in
French Observation-Disclosures
ing and tucking and Hamburg
edgings Of very dainty styles,
embellished with hand en-
broidery. The effect is re-
markably pleasing.
We want the widest possible
notice-we have a whole stock
of such work as nobody else
IN town even tries to make a
business on-good work of
all degrees Of decoration.
West OF Arcade, seventh and eighth counters.
We can't for the life of us
think of a single advantage in
selling nothing but furniture.
On the other hand the advan-
tage of selling everything with
it is clear in a great many
ways.
First, catch your hare"
says the famous recipe.
The first Of all advantages
is to have the stuff to sell. The
man who makes a business Of
nothing but furniture can't
get away from home; has
never been to Grand Rapids
in his life; spends his days
and half his nights in the
midst of the cares and worries
of business; buys from drum
mers and photographs. What
can you expect Of him /?
