PHILADELPHIA. Monday, Feb. Q, 1891.


Perhaps there is more ask
ing just now for the Ladies'
Cloths, and Camel Hairs, and
Diagonal Cheviot than for any
other class of Dress Goods.
Stuffs that let you laugh at the
changeable weather. Not too
heavy for the warmish days,
not too light for the raw, chilly
times. Dressy always, and
economical!
Look at these LADIES' Cloths.
This one is $I.25 a yard.
You'd pay $3.50 for it without
a wink of hesitancy. You
would pay it if you knew all
about Ladies' Cloth. It's
worth every cent of it, as the
market stands. Notice the
fnish-soft as a baby's cheek.
Not a lump, or knot, or rough
ness in it. Heavy enough to
shut out the nippy air, light
enough not to be burdensome.

You may think the
above a rather eXtrav-
agant assertion, but it
means this-we intend
to close out our entire
line of OvercOatS so as
to open with an entirely
new stock next season.
To do this we must
make some sacrifices;
hence we reduce the
entire stock of Mems,
Boys and Children's
OvercOats.
Where we only have
one or two of a kind
they go for less than
cost. But. what is the
difference to you wheth-
er we have one or a
dozen, if the coat fits
you and is what you
want? Some others,
where we have a full
