A PARADISE FOR
TRI.CITY LADIES

These are opening days at the Bee
Hive, Davenport. The weather con-
ditions on the outside world would
not indicate it, but when once per-
son gains the interior of this store
they find an entirely different atmos-
phere. They are brought into con-
tact with such a splendid and pleas
ing showing of new spring suits,
coats, dresses, waists, skirts and mil
linery that they quickly forget
weather conditions and have their
different subject, one so close to the
heart of every woman-artistic femi-
nine wearing apparel.
At the Bee Hive women for once
meet their hearts content. For
months past the efforts of the man
agement have been directed towards
securing fashions newest and best
ideas in women's and misses spring
wearing apparel. They have visited
all the large eastern markets and
have purchased to the best advan-
tage. This is amply proven by an
inspection of their stock.
Popular priced goods have always
been a feature at the Bee Hive and
the present showing is no exception
to this rule. The firm declares the
stock now on hand to be the largest
and best assorted in the history of
the Bee Hive. The leading manu-
facturers of the world have contribu-
ted to it.
The Bee Hive does not specialize
on fancy goods at fancy prices, but
they do insist that they give the best
possible values at moderate prices
They also feel justified in claiming
that their stock of such goods will
compare favorably with that of any
other store in the entire west.

Bee Hive presents a gerry pleasing
