THE d. Nj. READ CO.'S GREAT STORE AT
BRIDGEPORT.
Among the leading stores of old
Connecticut that we'll and favorably-
known Bridgeport house, the D. M
Read Co, stands among the first. 1t is
delightful place to trade, all the ladies
say so, and what they say goes.
just now the spirlt,of Spring aud Sum-
mer seasons pervades the whole store. |
Brightness and sunshine and the Spring |
flowers seem to have all contributed |
their essence to the atmosphere, and the
freshness and daintyness of all the
fabrics and the combinations of color
and design are fairly bewildering. The
tendency this season is toward light
tints Of the brighter colors tastefully
blended and the results they can show
are the supreme attainment in all
branches of the manufacturers art.
Nor is the brightness confined to the
mere displays of goods. Smiling, happy
faces are there to supply your wants, to
answer your questions aud to help you
when you are in doubt by the knowledge
acquired by long experience in their
work, and good will and perfect courtesy
are the watchwords Of all.
Said a member of this popular firm
to BEE representative: 1.-The new
| Furniture department is the GROWING
effort of the season, and if we have hao
some success in the past in our other
lines-and we think we have had some
little-so in this new branch OF our bust
ness we mean to have even greater sue
cesses, to leave no stone unturned to
make it of vital interest to the many
,taunch friends we have made and held
in the past"
To call attention to the D. NJ. Read
Co. e generous advertisement in this num-
Der, seems like q superfuous allusion tt
old Sol, after day of dismal, damp and
| wintry aspect, common of late. PeO-
pie look for their announcement from
week to week, it is second nature and its
omission would be as remarkable as
would be the lack of novelties at Reads.
The sun, like many of US, may at
times, be under a cloud, but Reads and
bargains come regularly to keep us in
business and make housekeeping worth
the while.
Kitchen items"-Such list Of genu-
inc bargains in that line has not been re-
corded since Adam and Eve went to
housekeeping. Think of It'll enamel
ware at prices less than we've paid for
inware, and, my lady, yours O'Clock
tea is as possible now as green grass
Crockery-We can see papa smile as he
persues the items, your house angel too
no further needs. for tearing hair, using
hard words and gaining the distrust OF
Bridget, 80 far as your being moral
man goes. Let her crack and bang the
crooks; you'd discharge her now If she
didn't; 112 pieces of dinner sets for-oh,
IL it wasn't cruel to kill good thing, 10
would go the price.
Toilet sets-Mary Ann can have one
now on every shelf. No more chasing
the house over for soap dishes, then us
ing a saucer; no more finding the tooth
brush in the cuspidor. Toilet sets?-
Why they're virtually given away.
Bargains! It's not to be'wondered at
that your better half monopolizes THE
BEE now and won't let you get Gimp
se of even headlines. No wonder she
and the youthful pride of your heart,
leave you to get a cold lunch, while they
go bargain bunting at Reads. Toddles
is out. Toddled: it isn't old pink and
relics that I'LL the house either, bat the
nobblest, most useful and substantial lot
of novelties obtainable in the country
A thoroughly metropolitan, ever OF
5ractive, absolutely reliable ests blish-
ment in our midst; nothing that art,
elegance and energy produce in the gen.
eral line, but can be found there. 1t is
neither surprising nor unusual that the
D. NJ. Read Co. commands the attention
and patronage Of the public.
