WILMINGTON,

The fact that two of the
family OF Andersons in Glas-
gov, Scotland, are makers of
cotton fabrics, often leads to
confusion on the part of buyers
on account of the two lines.
Eighty or more years ago
the house of David and John
Anderson was founded, like the
sturdy Scotch that they are,
they have, during these years,
aimed atimproving their quality
rather than lowering the price
of their products. We are
showing nearly all the styles
that they have produced this
year.
80 inches wide, 45c a yard
here as everywhere.
William Anderson & Sons
are likewise weavers of repu-
tation in cotton fabrics, but
produce more popular priced
fabrics, possibly the best that
can be made at the price.
Nearly a hundred styles here
at Csc a yard. % inches wide
Buyers Of either makes get the
best at the respective prices.
