Arizona republican., 1916-04-29

Not the Envelope-but what the En- velope contains-is what accounts for the wonderfully Successful sale ot Wrthmor Waists everywhere.
 These four new charming styles in Wirthmor Waists go on sale tomor- row. As always they're just S1.00 and as always they're exclusive mod els-and could not be bought else where at any price.
 It's true that Wirthmor Waists are (and have been from their very inception years ago. packed in sanitary trans parent envelopes. It's not, however, the method of packing that's responsible for their wonderfully successful sale but the extreme desrability of the waists themselves. Wirthmor Waists arc always neat. simple, refined in style and so made as to insure lasting sat isfaction. That's why they sell so well and that's why every woman who buys them once will buy them again and again. No other waists of the same or somewhat higher prices compare with the Wirthmor in value.
 Unless the envelope is stamped Wirth
 nor the waist the envelope contains is not a Wirthmor. And remember this. that Wrthmor Waists, in this city, are sold in just this one store.
