An Impressive Collection of
New Hats at $3.50 to $500

1t is generally supposed that if you
want an impressive, individual hat, you
must pay price accordingly. AS rule,
this true and the store that merely buys
merchandise and sells it at a profit, is
compelled to follow this plan. However,
we believe that every expensive hat can be
duplicated by eliminating certain cxpen-
to almost half. SO you will find that prac-
tically every hat in the group is modelled
after styles seen in New York shops at $40,
$15 and $25. The new ideas are brought
out strikingly in these brown tones, in
large black hats, novel turban and scores
of other models that bring out strikingly'
different suggestions.
