IT PLEASES YOU to have your clothes made so as to fit well, hang right and look stylish. Come here and we'li both be pleased. You'll get the kind of material and workman ship you want.

B. & B, about mail orders When one thinks that people living hundreds—yes, thousands of miles from this store are offered the same facilities to select from large assortments of the World's choicest and most stylish goods as people living one block away, it doesn't seem hardly possible, yet, it's true. Onr nsw Spring Catalogue is so sys tematically arranged and we're so liber al with samples the store is virtually iirouvht to yonr door. Possibly you've been reading these ads week in and week out for several years md have never yet tried our method. Let us suggest that you do so today— we can prove it pays, and pays so well von'll be permanent in yonr preferences. For example, send for samples of either of these items following— -25c Madras, 15c—it took one of the largest deals the Dry Goods business ever knew to get the price—loo,ooo yards bought—and we positively say it's real genuine 25c goods and so sold all over this country—full 82 inches wide, 93 different styles to select from—all stripe effects in combination colors, Red and White, Green and White, Tan and White, Lavender and Wbite, Blue and White, Pink and White, and Black and White—be definite about colorings you prefer. Taffeta and Lonisine Silks for Shirt Waist Suits are the rage in fashion centers like Paris and Berlin. Remember there are 67 departments in this business, and if it's Dry Goods, or anything else you're wanting, we sell it for a small profit. Don't fail to watch these ads every week—always something special. Boggs & Buhl ALLEGHENY. PA. r«iT» If you have money you are "it." Unless you object to having money, why not get it quickly?
