Muslin Underwear.

Something over fifty thousand
pieces of Muslin Underwear
await an appreciative public
here. That ID q collection larger
than we've ever shown and is not
approached outside of the larger
cities like New York and Boston.
We don't practice the boast of
bulk in our advertisements IN
less there's q special reason, and
there is one this time.

kinds, embroiderieS, laces and la
Dor, all of which form the cost Of
garment, cost less by twenty
FIVE per c Mt than the market
value to-day. We have no com

produced this increased cost, but
we are justly proud Of our ability
to place before you q collection
of Muslin Underwear, far exceed
ing anything hitherto attempted
in this region, atpricss less than
the manufacturer can produce
the same garments for to-day.
Another feature of this Muslin
Underwear Sale is that all the
garments were made in clean,
we'll ventilated factories by skill
ed work people, thereby elimi-
mating the distastetul work OF
sweat shops, whose merchandise
is usually sold at bargain sales
Our garments are good, fashion
able, exclusive; ana well made
by neat, clean, well-paid skillful
operatives; made of best cam
brics, Nainsooks, Muslins. ant
delicate Embroideries and laces
made for US in such quantities
and by the most modern system
and methods, that we can sci
them to you lower than the poor
ly made, at less than the ordi
