This is the greatest silks season ever
known. Silks for dresses, silks for
waits, silks for trimmings, silks for
skirts. Therefore silk selling was never
more brisk. We are told by those COM

silk department in the city. Certain we
are that it is above our expectations.
The reason lies in the goods, the price
and the service. Anything can be found
