BANISTER'S,
More Cloaks
to select from in our store than live ordinary stocks; in fact we hava
too many Cloaks, and as the season is advancing rapidly we must re
duce our stock or carry over a great many garments. We have there
fore decided to reduce our prices now, giving you stylish, well-made,
j;ood fitting Cloaks at February prices, which means about one-third off,
,-A word to the wise is sufficient." Buy your Cloaks nt our store. Al
most forgot to mention that we have just received a handsome line of
Umbrellas, mounted with beautiful handles of Silver, Gold, Dresden,
Ivory, bone, etc., any of which would make a desirable Holiday Present
