 Briggs Priestly was a man who started to make dress goods very much like all the mills of Bradford, England, were turning out in the year ls6o, mostly with cotton varps- The price of cotton was more important than the price of wool
 He soon saw that fashionable women were no longer satisfied with cotton warp stuffs and were going to France for dress goods. That spurred his pride. He introduced new cloths made entirely of wool; improved the spinning of yarn and the dyeing of black-and to-day Priesuley's name stands at the head of the makers of fine black dress goods. The first success of the firm of Priestley was made in America: Eng | land followed suit. A large range oi | fine black dress goods was introduced in this country by the new firm, in. cluding silk-warp henriettas, silk-1arI crepe, clairette, nuns yelling and many other goods largely used by wo | men.
 In our own black dress goods stock | to-day, hy actual count, there are more than 50 styles of black goods bearing the famous Priestley name.
 There is a satisfaction that goel
