Our stock of Infants Wear has been
commented on by the most competent
critics for assortment and quality. We have
gone through the entire stock and revised
the prices in some instances, as in case of
Bonnets and Caps, to less than half the
former prices, and in no case less than one
third off. This brings the goods down to
figures less than the cost Of material.
