Authentic Early Autumn f
Coat and Suit Styles.
Though new Suits and Coats have been received
in the Second Floor Garment Section almost daily
since July 20, we have waited until now to announce
their arrival that we might invite inspection of an as
sortment worth while. This we are now well able to
do as the showing embraces a most extensive color,
size and price range in both Suits and Coats.
And for the first time in many years Dame Fash
ion will consult the individual preference of her
patrons. For you can select a Suit with a 30 to 34
inch jacket, or one 42 to 45 inches in length, with the
assurance that the style is authoritative. And there's
just as wide range of skirt and coat styles.
But we must urge your early inspection and re
spectfully direct attention to new suits shown in the
display windows.
