The fall opening at William Medley & |
Co, was celebrated yesterday afternoon
with much eclat. Larger crowds than
ever before visited the store to inspect the
predictions Of goods that we're piled up
high Pn counters and tastefu1ly arranged /
in every conceivable, combination. The .
show'windows attracted universal attention
and admiration, especially the handsome
display Of Duchess and point lace.
Within there was a most bewildering
collection Of everything beautiful and use
full. The great display was made in the
cloak and suit, dress goods and millinery
departments, and the one who could not
find something here to please, either in
quality or price, must indeed be hard to
please Wool plaids, combination novelty
suits, ladies' fine broadcloths and goods of
all the late styles were piled up high on all
the counters. The cloak and suit display
had an admiring throng about it constant
". All the different styles were placed
about so as to be seen the most advantage
ously, and dangerous temptations they
were to the feminine mind.
Tea gowns of cashmere in all colors
looked seductive even with only q wire
frame inside. One suit that was particu-
lar1y noticeable was a hand-painted cash
mere that came in all colors. Tailor-made
suits with braid trimmings and Astrachan
panels, street costumes, REFER jackets,
capes and wraps of every description made
up the display. The millinery depart
ment had one of the finest displays of
hats, bonnets, trimmings and all the
things that go with them that could be
found in the city. The song birds
are not brought there to become an orna-
melt for cruel fashion, but a clever arti-
| fetal manufacture takes their place.
The crowds that visited it yesterday was
a fatteriug proof Of the universal popular
ity of this enterprising firm.
r. NJ. BROWN & co.
The usual large crowds turned out yes
terday to inspect what the firm of F. M.
Brown & Co. had new to offer for their an
nual fall opening. They found all the latest
novelties in costumes, cloaks and MILL
merry awaiting their inspection. The line
of goods in these departments is larger
and more complete than ever, though this
has not been effected to the detriment of
any of the other departments by any
means.
A look at the basement with it's reserve
stock would give one some idea Of the size
of the business. In the millinery depart
ment are to be found more than two hun
dred different styles Of trimmed bonnets,
toques, walking hats, fats, etc. With these
profusion Of trimmings, feathers, birds
breasts, Prince of Wales tips and other
bits Of fnery too many for mention.
In wraps, cloaks and other garments of
| outside wear there is an assortment hard
to surpass, from the dainty evening wrap
| in light brocades down to the walking
| jacket in cheviot.
| a glance at the fur capes, seal, seal and
asfrachan, or otter, made one think that
| q tingling cold day were a pleasure especi-
| ally when that medici collar could be
turned up around fair lady's ears.
In the dress goods department this firm
| claims the largest trade Of any establish
ment between New York and Boston. The
stock that they have on hand is equal to
any call that may be made upon it's re-
i sources. All the latest foreign novelties
| in weaves and combinations are included.
| The popular style this fall is in rough
| goods, camel's hair combinations and very
attractive they look when made up.
| There were also extensive displays in
laces, hosiery, underwear, dress trimmings
and articles in the shape of linens, blank
cts, etc., dear to the housekeeper.
The display was one of the most success
full that f. M. Brown & Co. have eve1
made and their many friends will appreci.
ate the effort with their patronage without
doubt.
