entirely different principle from the old time

the nation and world has been assembled here
with thought alone for the pleasure of the women
of California.
To be in style is to be in tune with the world.
Style in woman's clothes has in these modern days
become the harmonious expression OF her best
thought and most artistic instincts. Style has
dignity because it is the result of thought and de-
sire to produce the best and most beautlfu---the
most worthy ambition in the world

people of this city repete with all that time

typifies refinement rather than gaudy display:
store that provides adequate floor space rather than
cramped quarters for the sake of economy store
that has utilized every modern idea in merchan-
dising rather than using less expensive and older
devices store that will be credit to San Fran
