we claim that our stock of Dry

Coats will far surpass any pre-
vious season. While we are
urged by the approaching sea-
son to give extra attention to
this department, we are never
theless not Unmindful of our
other departments, which we
never neglect, always aiming to
lead in these, however great may
be the rush elsewhere.
Now is the time to talk of
wearing apparel. We know Of
nothing more dressy, or prettier
in dress fabric than fine Hen
rietta.
We have the leading Fall
shades in Silk Finish Henrietta,
at 85c per yard. An especially
good thing.
We cannot suggest a more ser
viceable dress fabric than an all
wool Surah. We are offering
this in all the popular shades at
SOC. 1t is excellent value. Would
be cheap at Coo.

here and there of high colOrs,

The effect is very good. They
are marked to sell at SOC but
would be very cheap at Coo.
"Aldine Suitings" are extern
sively talked about by Philadel-
phia merchants at SOC. We have
them in greys at this price, and
they are very good value. Strict

Mourning Goods are a special
ty with us. We can show you
some very good things in this
line, in both all wool and printed
cottons.
We are sin it" with 25c Cloths
and Henriettas. In plain cOlors
we have the latest Fall shades,
and in stripes and plaids we will
show you some beautiful styles.
Our space is not sufficient to
give in detail our assortment of
printed goods. Such as, Serges.
Outing, Chuddah Cloth, Calico
Ginghams, &c. However, if you
will give us the opportunity, we
can show an immense assert
ment in this line. Everyone
knows the American IndigOes
that never were sold for less than
SC. We have a large assortment
of these, which we are offering
at 64c.
AS the cool weather approach
es it suggests the need of Blan
kets and Comforts. We are
ready for you and can honestly
say that we never before haC
such beautiful line, and, better
than all, onr prices are right.
After many days of patien
waiting, we have at last received
from our Cloak manufacture
the largest line of Ladies' Coat
that were ever offered to tn,
trade in this vicinity. We nov
feel that we, as well as ou
friends, are justly rewarded TO
