To Our Former Employes or
Their Families:
Since the war began 1358 of our young men and
oih'e women who wanted to be nurses or do Red
Cross work have given up their places to be in the
army and navy.
Many more of our trained people, with a patri
otic spirit, nave left us for places where the pressure .
for work of hurried war supplies offered desirable
plates and direct service for their country.
. . This condition leaves us far below our standard
of numbers.
Under no circumstances will we exceed our
usual roll of employes.
" As many of our former employes who worked
in the store are without their men, who have gone
to the war, we will be glad to arrange for a half
day's service or a few hours early or late in the day,
If they can spare the time, and care to help us for
,the next two .mo'nths, or longer. .
Not one of the boys and girls who have come to
the age of fourteen should miss getting a full school
education; but if the changes that the war has made
in their families compel them to earn wages, we
have good opportunities for them in almost every
one of our clerical offices and in learning the busi
ness connected with the' merchandise.
Applicants will please ask for Mr. Atkinson,
who will receiye personal callers or letters for any
information desired, at his desk on the Street Floor
at his office next below the Postoffice on the West
Aisle along Juniper Street.

October SO, 191S.

Five t, of the beat manufacturers in the country made
these clothes, so you may be sure the fashions arc quite new
and correct authoritative Winter modes. You may be sure,
too, that .they are well made.
To" give you some idea of the remarkable values there arc
silk tricolette dresses in the sale at $35. Silk tricolettc is one
of the most fashionable weaves of the moment. A grade like
that used in these dresses sells all over the country for $G.50
a yard and it takes six yards to make a dress !
The serge used in the other dresses is a grade the Gov
ernment is requisitioning because of its wearing qualities
yet here are whole serge frocks for $20.
Silk Tricolette Dresses, $35
This shimmering, supple, clinging silk is a weave as
fashionable in Paris ad it is' here. It is made up in two
distinctive styles, both with long, heavy silk cord fringe.
Dresses just like them sold in our own stocks for $27.50 more
than the price these are marked. There are all sizes and
navy blue, black, brown, taupe and silver gray for colors.
Other Silk Dresses, $35
These are Georgette and satin combinations in charming
styles, including a number handsomely embroidered with
hollow jet. All the fashionable Winter colors are included.
Satin Dresses, $20
Of rich and heavy black or navy blue satin, embroidered
with silk; chiefly in straight effects. These dresses would
ordinarily sell for half as much again.
Fine Wool Serge Dresses, $20
You'll know how good thes"e are the minute you feel the
firm, good blue serge! A score of smart styles, becoming
and new and uncommonly well made. Some braid, others
button trimmed. Many have the new round necks.

Chinese Rugs Are in High Favor and Here
Is an Unmatched Collection
siit
iis
f &x
There could hardly be a contrast more marked than
4hat between the rugs of China and those of other lands.
It is a contrast chiefly of color and design.
In the Chinese" weaves these are more pronounced
and individual than in almost any other rugs, and with
certain schemes of interior furnishing and decoration they
fit in most effectively. Indeed, the decorative potentialities
of these rugs are coming in for more than usual recogni
tion, a's is proven by the exceptional demand for them
which we are experiencing in this great sale,
Undoubtedly the exceptional quality and low prices of
the run hava much, to do witii thii. .. - .'
