Silks.

Our Silk Department is growing.
So are our silk sales. We are max.
ing an effort to place before you all
the up to date silks at prices as low
as offered by city stores. We would
be gratified If more of those ladies
who have been in the habit of send
ing away, would give us a look. We
have silks in waist lengths so you
can have an exclusive style if you
wish. We are not finding fault be.
cause you send away. It's your own
business. But if you can see the
piece it is much more satisfactory
than a sample. True, we cannot
show you the variety a city store
shows; but we select the most tasty
patterns instead of buying the whole
line. So you see only silks that you
would want, not lot of c0l0rs you
don't want. At anytime too, when
we do not have what you want, lei
us send for you. We will gladly do
it, no matter how small the amount.
