FIRST SHIPMENT OF LADI.i~IS' FALL WINTER COATS
We have just received our first shipment of Ladies' and Misses' and Childrens' Fall and
Winter Coats. The popular colors this fall are Browns, Taupes, Silver Greys, Greens and
Navy. The most popular cloths are Silvertones and Velours. Prices moderate.
We would advise an early selection of Fall Garments as many lines will be scarce on
account of the strike situation, causing such a scarcity of goods.
NEW FALL AND WINTER FURS
The new fur styles are here. We would also advise early buying in this line. Prices in,
some lines are slightly higher and in others about the same as last season. Cape styles in neck
furs with small muffs will be the most popular styles.
WOOL SWEATERS FOR COOL EVENINGS
We have a beautiful range of Wool Sweaters for Ladies, Men and Children for early fall
selling. These Garments are very necessary for the cool evenings in the late summer and early
fall.
EMBROIDERY SPECIAL—This week 200 yards fine Corset Cover Embroidery worth 50c
