In all sorts of Dress Goods
there are numbers of patterns
and weaves that we control
for this market. OF course
they are among the choicest.
1t isn't the common run of
stuff that's hard to get. One
maker excels in silk weaving,
another in wool, another in
silk-and-wool; this printer
puts marvellous pictures on
cotton, that on silk, or on
wool. Some of the best things
can only be had in little guam

the wit to make them. Here

ge,is on the teachers profession,

grows real grandiloquent over his

little bit Horid, his claim for the

rounded, and is made in the Kings
