Some Glove
Truths

Few women know how to
buy their Gloves to advan-
tage. They choose glove
because it is much adver-
tised by the manufactures,
and not because Of it's wear
ing qualities.
The young lady in charge
OF our Glove Department
had six years experience
selling gloves in one Of the
largest department stores Of
Chicago before she came to
US. She has handled large
variety Of gloves OF different
makcs-yct she tells us that
she has never before sold so
excellent a line both in quail
ity and appearance at SO low
prices as she is at present.
You cannot afford to
spend six years trying to
find the equal OF our Glove

you come in to-day or Mon
