It Takes Time for
Fashions to Settle Themselves
The artist may design suits and jackets that look
well on paper, and the most skilled of cutters and tail
ors may give them shape and form in finished gar
ments, while the manutacturer or dealer may proclaim
loudly to the world that these creations are Dame Fash
ions' decrees, but should the work of these geniuses
tail to meet with popular approval, then their creations
are but labor lost, for, after all, the people themselves
decree what shall or shall not be worn and the prudent
merchant who studies the interests of his patrons will
not lose sight of this fact for one moment. That's the
secret of our delay in announcing
Our First Full Display

We piize too highly the confidence of our

No necessity for saying one word as to per
