Use Cotton Goods

This has been the slogan of the
Cotton market ever since last sum
mer, when it became apparent that
this country had more cotton than
it could dispose of in time of war.
That slogan has had its effect.
There win be more cotton dresses
worn this coming season than ever
before. styles of cotton goods have
been improved until to-day they are
beautiful. Many combinations are SUI
perior in style to all silk goods.
We were early in the market, we
believe, in this cotton fad, and our
selection has been large. How very
well it will suit your ideas, we are
anxious to know. So far sales have
been double those of last season at
this time. We believe we are in this
Cotton business with right styles.
