THERE IS A BEST TO EVERYTHING No matter what. Ninety-nine
times out of a hundred it pays to buy the best. Especially is this true novv-aduys
of Muslin Underwear. There is so much that is inferior. So much that borders on
bad. Often covered with inflated prices to present worth and value. More often sold
under the cloak of cheapness.
On Wednesday Morning, June 7th.
We Begin Our Great Summer Sale of
Muslin Underwear
The mere announcement will serve to crowd this storeminus the frills of de
tails. Yet we would have you know more of it. A stock here is worthy of descrip
tion. Could we take each dainty garment by itself and tell you the story of how it
was made ; what care was taken ; what finish is apparent you would have a good
sized book to read.
Thousands of Garments Very Lowly Priced.
If we judge correctly of the quantity in our store-rooms, there is enough to fill
the main floor of this big store. At any rate we shall give over the greater part of
the Main Floor space to this dazzling and charming display of white. It will be a
sight the like of which Scranton has never seen.
Of Course You Won't Buy Titi You See This Stock
You could not be expected to. You have come to know our Muslin Underwear
as the best. You have noticed an originality in the designs, an exclusiveness in the
patterns and a detail in the finish not apparent in garments of other manufacturers
than ours. We prefer all this rather than give you the same as others even for
less money. But, on the other hand,
We Combine Exclusiveness with Lowest Prices
And give you the best there is for considerably less than you're accustomed to
pay for the "same as others have." You see the point, don't you ? It means our
guarantee of goodness. It means lower prices than in any other store.
