ties. In Eastern sections Mink
is IN the lead as THE fashionq-
bic article for use in garments,
trimmings, neck ScartS, ETC.,
and has very rapidy advanced
in popularity and price. FrOba-
bly, this strong fashionable de-

who anticipate it, and buy Mine
articles row, will surely save
money. Seal seems to be also
in steady demand, and this artI-
Gle is handled this year by US
at such low margin of profit
that certainly nobody can mss
it who purchases. No fur can
ever be as handsome and an
SNer so many uses. 1t can
never be any lower. All reports
show the rapid extinction of the
animals, and a Seal garment IN
few years IRON now will be as
har0 to- get as it is now to get
a fine Buffalo. We are selling
Seal garments $50 to SIS less

asking, and the price We started
the season on is based on 7ar
too low a margin, but we wont

NeAselected SKINS, properly
matched, make an extremely
handsome Cloak We have made
unusual efforts to have a fine
and large assortment of SKINS
in this Mne for this season (0lac-
ing our orders a year dgo), and
yet we can hardly till our or

article, ana the prices of S135

For young ladies particularly
nothing can be nicer. We have
wondered each season if Astrakban
wouldn't fall off in popularity, but
this season we sell more than ever.
The fact is, that its hard to find
any garment at $40 to 500 that is
desirable and warm enough in this
climate for winter wear CLOTH
surely isn't. Plush is a dead let
ter, and AStraAhan, when properly
handled and made up, gives light
weight, durable, warm Cloak at
moderate price, and is really a
handsome article. We can't see
what can be got for a like sum that
mH give as good value. HO6Ody

ment thGn we do, and we know of
but one house in America that
equals US, and they want 20 per
cent more than we do for the same
thing. Fur CapeS have now reached
perfection in style and shapes
adapted 10 this climate, and those
of the present season are a SenSi-
BILE purchase to wear over q cloth
Jacket in severe weather, and with
out jacket in ordinary weather. Our
shapes are said to be the best
shown, and ne have sold many hun
dreds. We also have the Deep
cqpeS, with Vests, at prices from
$50 to $3.50, that make a dHeSsy
stylish wrap, and on many figures
are far better than any jacket. Day
after day it is a rush and crowd
with US, and we are satisfied thai
the past two months ladies
"shoPped," and, finding we had
THE stock, are now coming to buy
Certain it is, we never had such d
trade. Our out-oft0w trade ana
Minneapolis business is aston
ishing and gratifying, and only
bears out what We knew last ku-
gust that no such stock as ours
was to be seen in any other one
store in the West We still have
full and complete lines, and advise
immediate attention to the purchase
of what may be wanted in our line.
We owe apologies 10 those whose
repairs we have not yet got dOGe,
