Well, we should just

That's as emphatic as we
can make it until next

TO the question will be writ

Thousands of answers, in

that's entered on the list of

and corset-covers an d
nightdresses and drawers
and bloomers and petit
coats and house dresses
and aprons and dear little
children's dear - no, not
dear-little dresses.
All of them true Down
Stairs Store goods and true
Wanamaker goods, which
means goods that can look
the wearer (also the wash
woman) straight in the
face, even when turned in
side out to examine the
qualities and making.

sirable but inexpensive gar

worth finding and
worth wearing when you
see them.

would sell for much higher
