A new black silk, Cache
mire Ethiopien, by Etienne
Charbin of Lyons.
And why do we bring you
a new one with the market
full of well known silks1 Be-
cause the new maker wants
your trade and makes his
prices to get it.
People are just SO foolish
when they have once secured
your confidence they want to
get rich too fast. But that
gives new men a chance. How
rarely you find a maker or
merchant who can bear sue
cess without getting his head
turned and putting his prices
up to the point that drives
you away
This new black silk-In the
first place the maker guaran-
tees it to wear as we'll as silk
ought to wear; and so do we.
Ii is a beautiful silk: the black
is exactly right for a medium
black = neither blue nor
smoky; its luster is perfect
a granny luster, not a surface
shine; its weight betokens an
honest silk-there are plenty
heavier; but the prices
there's the rub-ooc, 81,
SI.25 and $3.50 for silks that
only a new man sells for the
money.

We don't mean extravagant
dress.decorations-they were
forgotten weeks ago.
We don't mean staples

We do mean acceptable
stuffs just off from staple. A

stead of rs and $3.50.
