The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1913-03-28
Our Easter Opening.

Away back yonder, at the very dawn
of creation, wardrobe consisted sim
ply of few fig leaves and a pleasant
smile, but if you were in Lancaster last
Saturday you observed that customs
have changed and styles have been
amplifed
The openings are all over and if there
is woman in Lancaster who is not
thoroughly familiar with the styles of
this Spring it is her own fault, for YER
lily our merchants and milliners have
outdone themselves in exhibiting large
stocks of up to date goods. A tour of
the millinery shops last Saturday made
US know why it is so hard for woman
to decide upon one hat over all of those
beautiful creations. The shops of Mrs.
Ada Kinnaird, Miss Rella Arnold and
R. S. Brown convinced even a casual
observer that this season is to be one
of color; away with your little black and
white effects for Nell rose, bright pur-
pie. burnt orange, reds and all conceiv-
able shades of cerisel And that blue
that has been known by all the names
it could have but stays about the same
color, this year it is called Madonna
blue, instead of Alice blue etc. Some
hats greet you with question mark,
while others have the tall exclamation
mark, in other words diacritical decora-
tons are the smart things in hats, to
say nothing of mercury wings perched
on top looking for all the world like
Mercury's own hat.
There are no more important institu-
lions in the make up of any community
than first class millinery stores, and
Mrs. Kinnaird, Miss Arnold and Miss
Mamie Anderson who is with R. S.
Brown, because of their ability to meet
the most exacting demands, have added
to and multiplied their business in
manner gratifying both to themselves
and their friends.
But to return to the shops-did you go
into Josephs and get one of those beau
tiful carnations and listen to the music
while looking at those beautiful gowns?
If you didn't you are the loser. It. is
not necessary to expatiate upon the
merits of the goods handled by this
firm for all know that the quality is of
first Importance with them. Adolph
and Arthur, besides being good business
mel are also good citizens, always
ready to aid the town in any way posi-
BILE.
The firm of R. s. Brown not only had
millinery on display, but new Spring
goods of every style and description for
both men and women. Since coming to
our town Mr.. Brown has established a
splendid business, and because he is re-
liable and accommodating, he will be able
to retain 1t through the years to come.
In summing up of the business of the
community it would be incomplete with
out due mention being made of Mr.. R.
H. Batson, who is one of the mercantile
war horses of the county. He has
made success of life and application
to business, fair deals and liberal sup
ply of printers ink have been largely
responsible. He has always brought
on beautiful supply of goods and this
year is no exception.
1t has always been hard for US to re-
member that H. T. Logan carries a
large line of ladies ready to wear gar
ments so accustomed are we to think
of him as the haberdasher, but we want
to say to you, don't you forget it, for
he has on line of exclusive high class
tailored and lingerie garments. He is
just as ambitious to please the ladies az
the gentlemen, and applies the Golden
Rule to every business transaction.
We hadn't intended to mention Jim
Smith because we thought those socks
and ties would speak for themselves,
but Jim is so competent, obliging and
is always ''dar wild de stuff so we ask
you to pay him call and be convinced.
In summing it all up and without any
attempt to fiatter our. milliners and
merchants We want to say no town of
our size carries larger or better sup
ply of goods, then why go elsewhere to
buy, why not spend your money at
home, in this OUR TOWN and make
it the ideal town of the State.
