1991—2350 UNITED Our Superior * Buying Connections We are affiliated with a buying connection which insures us of being at all times in touch with the evo lutions of whimsical "Dame Fashion"—thus the whis perings of the style center of France are quickly breathed into Harrisburg. And in reference to price—we join hands with concerns representing a purchasing power of more than sixty million dollars annually. Think what ser vice this means! We are right on the ground floor of price—but we feature "quality merchandise" only—• and this is the sort of merchandise you want to insure the best and most for your money. And remember what you get for your money is as important as the amount you pay —a low price without quality does not constitute a good trade. This is a quality store, the merchandise that we sell must be good or it does not enter our doors. Such a policy is bound to bring to you the best for the money I ) Important Sale of Ribbons Several Thousand Yards Involved in the Movement | (fc High quality ribbons, em* JJA. bracing practically every desir able sort —a wealth of weaves an d colorings—divided into four Iselling groups as follows— Lot lat 35£ yard.
