This price OF S1.95 Tor the
making of a skirt was estab-
lished by US a long while ago
and has been steadily main
tanned ever since it's adoption.
1t is not a high price and yet
it is not a ridiculously low
price-but one that any won-
an is perfectly willing to pay
to have a skirt properly tail
ored.
Miss Conlee, who has
charge of the Skirt Tailoring
Dept, is unquestionably the
best skirt cutter and filter
that has ever come to Topeka,
It is a specialized study with
her, therefore why shouldn't
she be perfect?
