Miss Fuller, the Chief Justices daughter, but

however, the young lady returned home and

Heretofore it has been almost impossi-
BILE to secure an absolutely fast black hose
for men without paying quite large price
for them. Such is no longer the case. We
have cxerted strenuous efforts, and now
have the pleasure of placing before you
aot only the finest qualities and most re-
liable dyes, but the most inexpensive
line we have ever offered AS with the
ladies' and children's hose we also guar
aatee these to be absolutely fast in color,

venting reductions in wages about $500
