How does the new paint-work

How does the new paint-work look in your house? Dull, lustreless, thin and "threadbare?" Welll Don't blame the painter, unless you author ized him to get the Chiffon Paints and he failed to do so-which he evidently did, if the work looks like that. The expense was heavy enough, was it? An! But you would have spent less and had more satisfaction had the Chiffon Paints been used. Half the quantity you con- sumed would have done as much work and have done it twice as we'll. Let this experience teach you better next time. Reliable dealers keep Chiffon paints, and everybody who tries them once uses them always. They do their own ad- vertising when once introduced. They are in all shades, we'll ground, made with pure linseed oil and turpentine driers, and last, but not least, if you buy gallon, you get q gallon, and not a teaspoonful less.

Women's Jackets
Capes
at prices away below value.

In pursuance of our invari able custom never to carry made up garments from one season to another, we now make this sale, although the stock is full in as- sortments of the very latest styles of the season, complete in colors and sizes.
 The sale is made earlier than would be otherwise necessary, because we need the room to make contemplated repairs, con sequently the jackets and capes must go just at the time when they are in the greatest demand.
 While the advantage is large for buyers, it is believed that our own interest will also be ultimately served even in this considerable loss.
 Great activity and prompt dis tribution must result from the above offering, and prompt at. tention is therefore advised.
