We have made it a rule
for several years never to
carry any garments from one
season to another, and at
the new or reduced prices
we have garments that are
within the reach of every
purse, however small.
It is impossible in our lim
ited space to give a descrip
tion of the sroods or enum
erate prices.
We are confident that you
will find on examination that
the prices are very accept
able we mean by accept
able prices lower than the
same quality of goods can
be bought for elsewhere
at a saving from one-third
to one-half.
We have a larcre number
of them to select from and
every one of them fashion
able.
