The We'll Conducted Mail
 Service Here

The Mail Order Depart ment is probably the best conducted Mail Order De- partment in Birmingham. Of course this should be so, for we do probably double, yes, triple the Mail Order busi- ness thatany other local store does. ltis quite natural that out of town shoppers should prefer this store because we have a larger stock, a more diversified one, and it mat ters very little what they want it is likely to be here. So they send us their orders because the entire order can be filled and sent in one package. If you live away from Birmingham we would like to serve you, if you shop by mail.

The Best Laid Plans ot Mice and Men Oft
 Gang Aglee

Last year we laid plans to do a big business in Imported Black Dress Goods high class materials really that could not be bought anywhere excepting in stock like this. We were sure that we would do an enormous business in fine black dress goods. But we did not.
 This year you would think that we would not make the mistake over-we did. But we thought that last year we we were a sea- son ahead in anticipating styles, as we sometimes are; and that S not such bad fault either. So we went ahead again this year and bought a more high class dress goods, but it seems we are again mistaken.
 The result is we have nearly a thousand dollars worth of extreme ly fine black dress goods, imported novelties, that no woman of fashion would think of buying for a street dress. The quality is there-the finest weaves weaves and materials, which under the touch readily reveal their character.
 We have been showing these high grade imported materials to some in the fashionable set, and they bought-but for the purpose of making them into house dresses, skirts and wrappers, and the idea comes to us that there must be a a lot of other women conservative in taste who love the finer things, and so consequently prefer house dress, skirt or wrapper made of S1.59 to 300 materials that are not strictly stylish, in preference to cheap, gaudy stuff-particularly when these 1.50 and 800 materials may be bought at the ridiculously low price at which we are going to sell this accumulation-50c.
 There are Crepons, Cheviots and Jacquards-really about everything in the black goods line, nothing in the world the matter with them excepting they lack vogue.
 Remember, the price is but fifty cents yard.

Some Strong Shirt Waist Specials in the
 Dress Goods Section

Dress Goods Section
 In considering what to advertise the idea occurred to the buyer of this department that a real winning card would be a sale of materials particularly adapted to shirt Waists-that is, all wool double goods materials, say, a yard wide or over, requiring not more than two yards for a waist, and be able to offer a selection so good as all wool Albatross at 33c, or an all wool Tricot at Sc.
 So we get together a lot of those materials which are now so popular for shirt waists, and where the price could stand at bit of shading it has been done, for the sake of stimulating business fur ther. That the sale will be well attended is forecasted by the ability to buy the fol- lowing materials at prices here indicated:
