The wedther TO day
Is iIkelt to be
IT

II t may not be generally
i known, but it is a fact
just the same, that the
production of Night Shirts
is an independent industry,
separate and apart from the
manufacture Of all other
kinds. There are firms
whose whole time, money
and thoughts are surren-
dered to the originating of
nocturnal vestments and
and the competition among
shirt makers is sharp and
intense. AS a consequence
the modern Night Shirt is
a thing of beauty-it has
reached its highest state of
development.
You can get Night Shirts
of us in all styles from the
extremely plain, up.
You ought to bear in
mind that a Night Shirt is
not a thing to be selected
carelessly and at random
don't take the first one you
come to, put a little thought
into your purchase, choose
with discretion.
We don't know, of
course, what your habits
are, but if you are a wise
man you spend a good deal
of time in bed and should
be comfortable while you're
asleep; what you wear dur
ing the night should make
you comfortable. 1t isn't
pleasant to pass the night
in a garment that rolls up
under your back or draws
across the chest or works
up in the sleeves. Some
Night Shirts do this, and
make life for the time being
a burden.
Get Night Shirts that fit.
A better illustration of
the improvement that's
been made in Night Shirts
lin a few years can be found
than in the one we sell for
IS cents; fifty-one inches
long, wide, full and ample;
large sleeves and rolling
collar, made from heavy
Dwight Muslin, handsome
buttonholes, pearl buttons
and trimmed with a neat
pattern in Cash's embroid-
ery-it is the sort that suits
the majority of men.
We have the other kinds
too, the. Ruhled and Frilled
and Starched and Pleated
ones, embroidered in gor-
geous colors, packed pair
in a box. and good enough
for a king. These do for
presents.
You'll find our line diff
ferent from any other in
town, ;.nd you may be sur
prised when you compare
prices.

This offer Just takes the breath away, and
fills the populace with unbelief. No need TO
disbelieve any longer than it will take You to
walk to our store where you can SEE THE
GOODS, SELECT YOUR OWN PRICES,

the price named.
It's staggerer we know. but 1t Is the
truth.
Where did we buy 'em? Where we've
bought hundreds Of suits, but the mystery
didn't come in in the buying it's in the sell

you are asked tOpay. Gr
Not very profitable? No. profitless, but
we often take a streak like this when we get
