Some weren't worth what they were

The IInhrnken "SpeII" in Satinss.

The "Spell" in Satines is still un-
broken. The last 1000 pieces brought
over by our Buyer was overwhelming.
It made scarce and choice kinds plenty,
and developed so many astonishingly
new patterns that, metaphorically
speaking, it set the teeth of the market
on edge.
We are rich in popular styles-es-
pecially Dark and Black grounds,
thicllly sprinkled with White and Ecru
figures. AS we said, three hundred
pieces are made up of entirely new
kinds now shown for the first time in
this city. We think them exquisitely
beautiful, but, be that as it may, it is
certainly no objection to the customer
to find that many more kinds than are
to be seen elsewhere.
We name them again:
Roman Stripes,
Moss Agates,
Egyptian,
Three-toned Stripes,
Dice Patterns,
Hairline Checks,
Melting Plaids,

Palms,
