Buy Your Christmas Gift Stockings a

The headline above refers to all quaities-from the plain cotton vari-
ETY. to the finest fancy silk hosiery in the store. In a word--hosiery

ready the head of our hosiery department tells us that if we run short
higher prices will undoubtedly prevail.
We urge you again and again-buy all your hosiery wants now. We
have ample stocks of these silk stockings on hand; but it is so diff
cult to tell just when a sudden squirt of real Christmas buying will
take place. 1t is undoubtedly wisest to buy at once.

big dolls and rag dolls and rubber dolls. And right over there near
the window you'll find toys for the boys, wagons and locomotives that
run on tracks, and blocks for building and things and things that you'll
never tire looking at.

few minutes to step into the store and make a hasty survey of every
thing in Toytown-and then get just what you want. Yes, let the
children come and tell you what they like; so that their little hearts

Included are dresses of Soiree, Taffeta, Georgette, Crepe de Chine, and Chiffon and combinations of these popular fabrics.
 In the graduation dresses and even ing costumes, nets, voiles and Point de Esprit are effectively used. This is without doubt a most unusual oc- casion in dresses. We urgently re- quest the women who are reading this advertisement to see the dresses themselves. Do not form an opinion of them until you do so. For the price, 1895, is so low, for dresses of this character, that you will do them an injustice by judging them before you have had an opportunity for examination.
 As there are but 200 we suggest promptness to avoid disappointment.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-31

In this remarkable group of dresses there are twenty seasonable styles and you may choose costumes for any and all occasions.
 Dresses for women and misses, for street wear, for sports wear, for graduation wear, and for evening wear.
 For instance, note models No.'s 9, 13, 15, in the above illustration. These are novel sports models, charmingly tailored, and presenting at their spe- cial price, 1895, exceptional economy. On the right side near the center of the illustration, note a group of dresses, No.'s 6, ', 8. These are pretty, simple models that young girls will welcome for graduation costumes.
