Our stock is, without excep-
ton, the finest; approved by
the admiration of buyers, and
entirely to our liking. The
reasons for preference of
ready-made are on the sur
face:
/. The Overcoat is seen
made up. There is no guess
work about how it will look.
Examined in the roll, without
being able to know how it will
trim, goods may strike the
fancy that, when made up,
prove disappointing. This is
avoided when seen and
bought in ready-made.
2. The Overcoat ought to fit
over the clothing ordinarily
worn--this Is readily accom-
plished when tried on ready
made. Throughout our whole
stock of Spring Overcoats,
from the finest to the least
expensive, every essential of
elegance in appearance and
excellence in service is
thought of and thought out
carefully and particularly,
and unusual shapes are
looked after as diligently as
diamond "findS." In stores,
here and there, fine Over
coats--a feW--may be kept.
Nowhere else does fineness
begin so far down in price, or
the price go up to as high
quality of material as here.

100 Doses One Dollar

400 Doses One Dollar" is not a catch line
only, but is original with and true only of
Hoods Sarsaparila, which is the very best
spring medicine and blood purifier Now,
seader, prove 1t. Take a bottle home and
measure its contents. You will find 1t 10
hold 100 teaspoonfuls. Now read the direc-
tions, and you will find that the average dose
for persons of different ages is less than a
teaspoonful. Thus the evidence of the pecul-
lar strength and economy of Hoods Sarsa-
parila is conclusive and unanswerable.
March April May
Arc the months in which TO purify the blood,
for at no other season Is the body so suscep-
tible to benefit from medicine The peculiar
purifying and reyiving qualities of Hoods
Sarsaparilla are just what are needed to ex-
pei disease and fortify the system against the
debilitating effects of mild weather. Every
year increases the popularity of Hoods Sar-
saparilla, for IL is just what people need at
this season. II is the ideal spring medicine.
If you have never tried it, do so, and you
will be convinced of its peculiar merit.
II take Hoods Sarsaparilla every year as
spring tonic, with most satisfactory re-
suits recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla TO
all who have that miserable tired feeling at
this season." c. PARMELEE, 349 Bridge
