The emphasis goes on the
Silks" not on the "sale" in
this
SALE OF
SILKS

for it is the silks themselves that
have made the sale.
People came in expecting to buy
enough for skirt or dress, and
they bought two or three times
the amount they had intended just
because it was the more economi-
cal thing to do.
Consequently, many silks are
gone entirely, some are in such
small quantities that we prefer
not mentioning them, but the very
best fashion silks for Spring, on
which we anticipated the demand,
are here in plentiful assortment
yet.
