MONTGOMERY FAIR

The Montgomery Fair comes, forth with this week in their page adver- :, tisement with some bargain offerings for the ladies that are sure to create quite a stir among them. This IS nothing unusual, though. for this great store has items from some of It's many departments every week that are equal ly sensational. Not week goes by, hardly a day, that there is not some where in their store. some special bar gain that Is drawing its enthusiastic crowds.
 Their white serge suits, at the prices they are offering them now, comes as very seasonabie boon to many of Mont gomery's judiclous lady buyers. The prices have been practically cut in two. The same applies to the linene coat suits they are offering. These were bought at a great bargain by their buyer. and now they are put on sale at only a fraction over half their actual value.
 In handsome wash dresses. lawn jumper suits and high class lingerie waists, there are some bargains, offer ings, that in the values given at the prices quoted, are startling to say the least There Is nothing but the very newest styles shown in either of these lots, and they are all very high grade materials of splendid workmanship and quality.
 There are numerous other splendid offerings from the other departments. that will certainly do their full share in making this week at the, Montgom- cry Fair an interesting one.
