Ribbons Much in Demand This Season
Vb'e are showing exquisite Ribbons tor knitting or
sewing bags, which are so popular this season. The widths
are 6 to 8 inches, in beautiful tapestry, dresden and some
very handsome broken check designs. There are some ex-
ceptionally heavy, strong weaves, and the colors and com-
binations of colors are really beautiful. Prices are very
reasonable, considering the qualities. They sell at SOc, 75c,
8Sc and $1.00 per yard.
If You Are Making Bags You Will Want Rings
- We have them in wood in.oval and round at 15c and
Ile per pair. In wire in several good shapes at 2Sc and
35e, and in celluloid in round and oval shapes, up.as high as
$1.25 per pair.
For silk Bags we have handsome etal tops complete
with chains, which are just the thing or finishing a silk
sLopping bag. These come in gun metal r silver finish.
Do You Realize How Scarce Wool Fabrics Will Be
Fabrics of puie wool will be practically a t ing of t
past as soon as present stocks are exhausted. R ulatiotis
recently passed by the British Government provide that 100
per cent. wool fabric shall not be manufactured forcom-
mercial purposes. In other words, the British Govern ent
will not allow anything containing more than 60 per t.
wool to leave Great Britain. The regulations of the Am'
icon Government will not permit the exportation of all-wo o
It -fabrics except under special license. All this means that
people who want wool clothes should buy from present,,
stops. Next year there will be less availabl! and rvllat
can be had will be very much higher than even to>.la.
rices.
We just call your attention to the fact that we are eel:-
ing beautiful all -wool imported serges of the season's hest
colon ai ;LBO and $2.75 per yard. These are cloths
of exceptional merit, and once our stock is sold out, prices
will be very much higbzr on repels.
We have cheaper qualities in wool dress good;, but
emphasize the particularly good value of these serge'. •
