~
The past week has been with us an un-
precedented one in the extraordinary
sales OF
Dress GOODS.

But for one fact we would claim
that this is the result OF q happy
hit made by our buyer in selecting
just what was suited to the refined
taste OF our community. This one fact,
referred to by way OF reservation, is
that the change in tariff laws had the
peculiar effect Of making very fine goods
cheaper, while medium and low grades
we're at the same time carried upward q
few points.
The consequent demand for finer and
more artistic fabrics made it just that
much easier to supply the trade.
The slight doubt heretofore existing
as to which styles shall take the lead
has now been settled and we are pre-
pared not only to advise what to buy. but
to supply all reasonable demands.
Solidcolors and mixed Woollen Goods
in great variety also, Plaids, Stripes,
and Figures for combination together
with Gimps, Braid, Velvets, and Silks
for trimming.
We open this week All-Silk Grena-
dimes in plain and figured effects.
