THE
DRESS GOODS
FOR SPRING, 1888,
Are entirely different from last
years styles, both in color
ingS and WeaVeS.

The many new colors, the great
variety of new weaves and the new
Plaids, Stripes and Novelties in
Silk and Wool Effects, in Dots,
Diagonals, Figures, ETC., should be
seen in order to give person ANY
kind of an idea of how beautiful,
dainty and stylish the new dress
goods imported by VIM, H. Frear
for Spring are. The Troy Bazaar
contains 81 departments, and the
largest of these is the Dress Goods
Department, with occupies the
whole west aisle of the Bazaar, both
sides being devoted to the sale of
Foreign and American Dress Goods.
No other dry goods merchant in the
State sells Dress Goods so cheap as
VIM. H. Frear. 1t is a well-known
fact that wherever lady buys her
dress the Innings, Buttons, Braids
and other Dress Trimmings are al
so bought. Mr.. Frear, realizing
this and to stimulate other depart
ments, sells a great many Dress
Goods at cost, and often less than
cost. The Dress Goods depart
ment has from fifteen to twenty
statesmen continually selling Dress
Goods and nothing else, which is al
most double that of any other dry
goods store outside of New York
city. The following is a partial list
