On all sides were to be found clothing, all kinds of clothing, from the best to the cheapest and to suit everyone's 's purse. The display in this particular line was very fine. Then, too, the shoe depart- ment was strictly up to the times and all styles and makes were to be seen. The youngsters are provided for in a separate department and here all that goes to make the small boy happy could be seen. The hat department is full and complete and without doubt one of the best seen in 6 long time. The new feature-ladies' and misses' shirt, waists-was an innovation and everything desirable by the lair sex in that line was displayed. Percale, null {, madras, linen and lawn were the qualities of waists shown and they were beauties9 J. L. Chalifoux & Co. made a display creditable to Birmingham and themselves.
