THh Big Surprise IN RaefVe J0r YOa loHsTaV
Guaranteed Silk Petticoats for )
The Silk Alone, if Bought by the Yard, Would Cost

Beautiful skirts too-rnade OF lustrous silk in
rich colorngs. Our confidence in these petit
coats is plainly shown when we guarantee to
replace them if they split or crack with or
dinary wear within three months.
They are generously full in withholding
skinny about them They are skirts that will
sell on their own merits You can measure the
silk yourself il one of these and you will
readily see that the silk alone ordinarily would
cost not one cent Jess than SIS, and hen add
the cost of making and you will riore plainly
understand why these skirts are big bargains
at the low price of S3.o5. Many women will
buy two or three of them-the saving on each
warrants it.
We expect tremendous response tomorrow be-
cause no wonlans wardrobe is complete with
out one more silk petticoats, and these at
this special price OF $3.95 is not an every day
price.
The advantages of our six store buying organiza-
tion-securing all the manufacturer had on
hand for spot cash--has made this low price
to you possible. Buying in small quantities
these pettcoats could not be sold at S3.o5.
Almost any color you could imagine is here
such light blue, Nile green, hunter green,
pink, navy, purple, royal blue, garnet, plum,
bsque, sky blue, bottle green, tan gray. brown,
light gray, dark gray, white and black; also
beautiful changeable effects in red and green,
blue and green and brown and green.
