where at these prices, and at even lower prices;
out 1t is not the prices we are speaking about
1t is the qualities for the prices that claim your
attention. 1t doesn't require an expert shopper
70 discern their great value. The most casual
buyer can readily see that they are extraordinary
bargains. 1t will pay you to anticipate your
wants for a year two, as there is no danger
OF Black Silks ever becoming out of style, or
being offered at lower prices.
