The Ripest Fruits Cptne Latest,
Praise for All Philadelphia
Frem "Girard"
"A young lady educated in Paris, but whose
father is a Philndclphian whom every one knows,
thought that Paris and Londen shops would beat
(he world.
"After visiting: all the famous big department
stores in Paris, the young lady's emphatic opinion
was this: 'Compared with the best stores in
Philadelphia these Paris shops are filled with trash V
"A significant verdict well worth your attention!
I've known women who insisted upon buying their
hats in New Yerk te get 'exclusive' styles, but alas,
the hats had been made right here in Philadelphia.
"A gentleman of discriminating t tastes who
recently returned from Europe assures me that he
searched Londen shops in vain for ceriain kinds of
Irish lace, although formerly the lace had been
purchased in Londen.
"His opinion of Philadelphia's supremacy as a
retail center moved up several notches when he
.found that identical lace in a Philadelphia store
within a couple of blocks of his own office."
Girard in the Inquirer.
Why net, when we have buying offices in
Paris and Londen and our traveling buyers all the
time going te centers of fashion? ,
