your chamber sets. Here We step in
the breach and ofier a chance TO re-
place them at reasonable price.
We've been out of the cheaper sets for
some time and this new lot fills u long
felt want for you and us.
lO-piece sets, new shapes. The cWor
Is the incest shape we've yet seen. II
we said 800 they'd probably sell just
as well. but you'll surely get the set
you're wanting when YOU can do 1t
for Sa.9O-10 pieces. Decorated in lay
ender, blue or brown.
lO-piece set--sdlid color background
with floral decorations in three colorS.
Every piece outlined In bright gold.
No reason why you shouldn't pay 5000
for such set: yet there Is one reason.
we sell it for $3.50 Reason enough
and reasonable enough.
If you want TO pay $1,000 for it We give
you the slop jar with it, making u T.
piece set.
We've lot of high priced sets worth
from $500 to $l2.O0. to go at one-third OFT
to close: they're not as pretty as these
new ones we think. so we must sac
rifice on them and let price take tho
place of nrettiness.

REASON FOR APPLICATION. '
The ground on which the application
will be- based is Boschno's previous
good character and the alleged unstable
testimony of the commonwealth. John
Moran, one of the principal witnesses
for the commonwealth. swore at the
coroner's inquest that it was so dark
