The Fallacy of
Buying T rashy
Dress Fabrics

has been demonstrated more than decade ago,
but not more forcibly nor more practically than
the sterling qualities we carry at low prices-for
every material that is exhibited by us as reliable
is reliable and long experience has taught Us to
muster into and your service only the best. and
we honestly believe every word we quote in Our ads.
We know every phrase to be fact beyond dispute,
and that's the secret that brings responsive chord
from the crowds that daily encircle Our Dress
Goods Department. Our stock of dress wear is
always complete. There's never an up-to-date
creation that is lacking, yet such condition as
congested state very rarely exists. Every color or
weave moving slowly by fashions disapproval is
hurried out, if must be, even at and below cost.
Such business principles insure for us your full
confidence and create mutual satisfaction.
For the season of 189S-'99 the fabrics that will
be in the vanguard Of all are: Crepons s-Duchess-
Peau de Sole -Bengalines-Ta aHetas Poplins-
Hcmespuns Whip Cords Camel s-hair-Chev-
iots-T weeds, etc.-and Our variety is now at its
flood tide of completeness. So let Us conclude
with the assurance of our hearty welcome to you.
We will appreciate the honor of your inspection.
