Never before have we shown
such an enormous variety OF

found you in need Of one.
Ours are all made specially
for us--particular attention
being paid to the fit and style.
There's a great difference in
Shirt Waists. Many of them
are made to sell-regardless

lower in many instances than
inferior goods are sold. They
are made with attached and

THE standard Of values in this coun-
try and the other principal commercial
nations OF the world Is gold. Wages and

free coinage OF silver as a serious OBJ
stacle to our country's prosperity"

instructions to the delegates to support
Mckinley. He created some excitement
by pressing this point

lions be adopted as read. His motion
