LADIES'
OVERALLS!
WHY NOT?

Ladies overalls have made their
advent in Grand Rapids and are on
display at the Johnson & Hill Co. store.
Have you seen them? We were in
formed that several of them were sold
almost as soon as they arrived, which
proves that our city is not behind the
times in accepting the practical and
comfortable garments. There no
doubt are some who may consider
them bit blase, or extreme, but to US
they appear decidedly more modest
than the tight fitting hobble skirt of
recent popularity. They come in quite
modest colors that will launder well.
and much resemble the overall apron
with the exception that the lower part
forms a divided skirt, and some are
gathered in at the ankles forming a
frill. We have reason to believe that
those who are looking at the practi-
cal and comfortable side of things will
don them.
