YES, BEAUTIFUL
MRS. REEDY'S STORE.

Everything is sold cheap, and if the same
goods can be bought at Strawbridge &
Clothier's, Wanamaker's, or any other
city store as cheap. we will give you
the goods. Every dollar spent in Mil
ford is beneftting the town, and there
is no reason why any one should go
out of Milford to buy goods when they
can get them just as cheap and just as
good here.
SILKS for summer wear, cheaper at Mrs.
S. E. Reedy's store than you can get
elsewhere, and in assortments that no
other store keeps.
LAcES, gauze like, beautiful and cheap.
DRESS FABRICS, in beautiful pattern and
actually cheaper than you can buy
them in the city-because I bought
them at the factory. They are beauti-
fully blended colors and delicious pat
terms
KID GLOVES, and all the latest shades in
other gloYes-and remember always
as cheap, or cheaper, than can be
bought elsewhere.
TABLE LINEN, cheap and expensive
large and sma1l-useful and cheap.
HOSIERY, that can not be approached in
style and beauty or low prices.
CORSETS, in all the best makes, and sold
as cheap as those of inferior grades.
Remember I am selling goods cheap
Even lower priced than in some cases
can be bought at other stores. Come
look at the handsomely trimmed store
and windows even if you don't buy. II
is a pleasure to show the store and the
goods.
