Spring Season "1913"
Advertising columns have been devoted to the task of clearing cloak
room racks of the Winter Coats and Tailored Suits.
Now we are to speak of the New Suits, New Coats and New Dresses
which have been "coming in" every day and almost every express since
January 31.
This does not mean that all Winter Coats or all Winter Suits have been
sold.
There are about 60 of the former and about 25 suits the price of which
is half or less. The assortment, however, of New Suits, New Coats and
New Dresses has now reached sufficient proportions to permit our issuing
an invitation to inspect with every assurance of satisfactory style, size
and color selection.
The New Suits, The New Coats,
The New Silk Dresses
Indeed many cf the New Coats, New Suits and New Dresses have al
ready gone out to tell more forcibly than pages of advertising of the dis
tinctive style faultlessly tailored, perfect fitting moderate priced gar
ments that will bear The Kinter Co. label this spring season 1913.
