n PROCESSION will
a be formed in our
store this morning

the picture department
through the space devoted
to art-needlework, ending
in the drapery room.
This procession will be
composed of three special
bargains which are to be

The Easels are a lot
which we have just bought

each, and it is bargain that
will be appreciated by all
who see them.
The Scarfs or Grapes
have been made in our
own workrooms on purpose
for this sale. The materi-
ais are silks, odd bright
styles which brighten up a
room and make an Easel
a graceful ornament. The
price for these Scarfs would
usually be $3.50. Today
we are going to sell them
for one dollar.
Customers can look this
procession over at their
leisure. If any particular
Picture strikes their fancy
