Of This Interesting Department
at Williams0n's

To the woman who loves shopping
there is no pleasure quite akin to tina
of inspecting stock of goods whel
it is all new, fresh, and complete
when, in short, a department is at it
very best and when the woman who
wants something in hurry does mo-
have to hear that miserable, heart
breaking apology, Were just out Of
that, but we can get it for YOU
If the department which is at its
prime happens by good chance to be
the fancy work and art department OF
| Williamson's store, the shoppers cup
of happiness is full to overlooking.
No woman could resist the models al
Iready made up in daintiest colors and
in newest stitches; and fingers skilled
in needle work fairly itch to begin
work on the stamped pieces into which
are woven cheerful thoughts with
the gay colors.
! The art department of Williamson's
started two and half years ago in
small quarters and with a small
stock. Today it occupies very large
space on the second floor and repre-
sents an investment of over $4,000.
Mrs. Reeves, who has been response
BILE for the great development of the
art department, is extremely enthus-
iastic over the tremendous opportun
tiles given here this season by Mr..
Williamson's shrewd and generous buy
ing and by his policy of not raising
the price on single article though |
everything in stock is costing him |
more this year.
The art department must be seen
to be appreciated. A fine display of
show windows over Sun
day this week.
For those who wish to make Easter
presents at small cost there are love-
ly finished articles on sale. Guest

Nearly all stamped goods are ex-
smplified by finished models showing
he effect of color and design. Prac-
ically all lines of needlework are re-
presented in the stamped goods.
