Hickman stood in front of the stage door Of the
Biiou Theatre with small notebook in his hand

Mays e g J; $: :
Trimmed Millinery,
5000 to Sl9.06 for the
Kind Others Sell at
$500 to $3.50

We don't believe there is a woman
in town who. when she pauses to think
about the subject, will fail to realize
the possibilities that Trimmed Hats
afford the retail dealer for levylng eX-
tortion. An exquisite Hat, one that
admirers call 'dream! Who can
fix it's commercial value! Not you.
Only the merchant who knows It's
actual cost. But, does he mark it ac-
cording to a fair percentage Of profit
on the amount he paid! Or does he
consider the art. and beauty, and
grace. and effective lines of the Hat,
and decide upon price that he thinks
represents the utmost penny you will
paw! There are two schools of mer-
chandising. One takes pride IN COM
manding high prices. The other
Macy's, strains its energies IN the op-
posite direction. We feel as much
pleasure in giving big moneys worth
as YOU feel in receiving 1t.
Our Trimmed Hats at $474 represent much
value and far greater style than the ones
advertised by others at 5000 Dozens of the
newest effects to select from.
