sive, commission houses , requiring 25
cents a bushel on tho May future and as

qualities of this merchandise with those of other goods.)
2. In the size, many sidedness and variety of the stocks.
(In no division do we show less than twice the assortment to be found outside of this
store, and in some sections we show an assortment ten times greater.)
3jr-In lowness of prices.
(Undoubtedly there are lower priced goods, but they are of a kind that we believe we

A few are originals by Doucet,

many more have been inspired by them.
American makers have been spurred
as never before to produce exquisite
things.
That is why we feel we have never
had to offer Philadelphia women, so early
in the season, so much that is new and so
much that is beautifully practical.
