SEASONABLE FABRICS HALFPRICE
Ludwig Bros Wonderful Sale ofthe
metropolitan Dry-Goods Co.'s Stock.

The beginning OF the sale yesterday in
street, near Sixth avenue, of the Metro
polltan Dry-Goods Company's Immense
stock was a great success in spite OF the
bad weather.
The spacious establishment was packed
up to closing time with eager pur-
vantage Of the excellent opportunity the
sale affords of getting s~easonable goods
of the best manufacture at half price.
Ludwig Bros. were able to get the
stock at specially advantageous rates
owing to the retirement from business of
the Metropolitan Dry-Goods Company,
which was the successor OF James Ward
and AZ Walker street. Throughout its
long existence the Company ranked high
among the leading jobbers In the trade
and the advantage of the sale Is further
shown In the fact that all OF the goods
were manufactured for this season for
high-class customers.
The stock shown yesterday was espe-
cially remarkable for its novelties in
Spring dress goods. Challies abounded,
and there were silks in all the leading
styles; 1t, moreover, Included velvets.
f%iannels. g!nghams. dimitles, lawns, ba-
and a large number of equally popular
fabrics in all the new shades and pat
terms.
There was also a complete line Of
tapestries and lace curtains. and por-
there's and rugs were displayed in a well
continued throughout the week, when a
tour OF the shopping district should not
fail to include a visit to Ludwig Bros
w~ell-known establishment. ,"
