RICHMOND. MONDAY. March 20, lSsA
With just two weeks until Easter
there's redoubled vigor put into
shopping. No time to be lost-be
the days cold or damp the activity
is little checked. What feasts OF
Easter dainties are here What a
revelation of beauty Richmond
has not had such an array of mer'
chandlse in her history. The whole
store is a picture-come and enjoy
il.
The MILLINERY gathers beauty
every day, and we'll set apart
some day this week for a second
general display--.which day the
papers will tell you Of. With an
array of Pattern Hats just three
times as numerous as last year,
and with a large work force tho.
roughly enthused with their work,
with the best hints of Paris, Lon
don, and New York at our com.
mand, and all under the care OF
one of the artist-milliners OF the
country, it's no wonder that this
business assumes a more and more
important position. If you love
pretty things come and see.
Take Elevator.
Think of buying six hundred
DRESSES at one time! Did you
see the piles and piles of them last
Monday when they opened (? Look
now, and notice how they've gone
down. The prices are all-power'
tul. Those garments are getable
at just about half the prices that
they'd brought had not the manu-
facturer failed. Think of newly
made and stylish costumes at prices
like these:
