G This coat is a wonder, both as the coat and as to the value. Nothing
preaching it. And the original coat, of which these are the exact dupG-
Gates, cost us several times more than the 1880 we now ask you.
G The moment we saw this coat it took us by storm. We could not
repress our enthusiasm. We simply had to have it at once. But we
declined to pay the makers prices, and proceeded TO experiment ou-
selves-not with the materials, not with the fuw, not with the Innings, not
with the wokmanshp-bu with the price.
q We saw that the only way TO bring this beautiful garment within the
popular reach was to assemble the parts and literally build the coat our
selves. So we ordered the cloth direct from the mills. We then Sc
lected. the skins from a dealer in raw fu8. Thereafter we had the collars
and cuffs made by a responsible funder, and finally, we had the parts
assembled and put together by one Of Our foremost coat makers.
q That is how these beautiful garments come TO be offered at the low
price Of $3.50 Only one hundred Of these coats are on sale. Yet. de-
spite the limitation Of quantity, the offering 81 phenomenal. The materials
are the highest grade Of broadcloth, and the model is a full length effect
Of the most modnh pretensions, extremely effective, with semihting back.
GThe fur collar is a long shawl effect tavening below the waist line,
and the carmen. fastens far to one side with two large braid ornaments.
Collars and cuffs are Of Australian opossurn. caracuI, sable-dyed muskrat,
sable opossum or black French coney. Every garment is lined throughout
with satin Of guaranteed quality, and is interGned into the bargain. All
sizes for large and small women. but only 100 coats in all.
