BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY F
To tell you of our vast preparations for this enormous event would be to take you
back into the autumn months of 1898 and into the big, roomy rural factories up
the Hudson from New York; up the Schuylkill from Philadelphia. There, our buyers,
with time at their command placed orders for the dainty, exquisite lingerie that is here.
All told, there is something like 22,000 pieces to choose from
With the immense outlet of our two Big Stores we bought quantities for cash, tha
will make this sale a memorable occasion, unsurpassable and unapproachable by any
house. It will provide our multitude of shoppers with bargains of startling propensity.
We propose to double our Muslin Underwear sales of one year ago and they were
enormous. We have bought tremendous quantities of each item that no one may be
disappointed. When the selling begins on Wednesday morning you will find
the entire main aisle of the store, from Wyoming avenue entrance to the
a veritable sea of beautiful undermuslins
Every woman who loves the white, dainty garments and what one does not will be charmed by the sight we place before
them. A brilliant, dazzling array of finery at prices that will stand the strain of comparison with any house in the universe.
