DOMINION HOUSE, BRUSSELS.
We beg to .announce that our grated Millinery Opening takes place on
V
i
'Sf
Fill aiid Sdonliii3OGL '15, 168117.
We do not intend to give the Ladies of Brussels and vicinity a lot of Taffy and small talk such as
some stores have lately been treating them to. We intend to treat them to an inspection of our Millinery
such as no other store in Brussels can produce, from the fact that they have not the stock nor the ability
to carry it out. We do not wish to under -rate our neighbors, they do the best they can and they made a
very creditable little display at their late openings, but if the Ladies want to see really first-class, fashion-
able Millinery they must pay a visit to our establishment. We spare neither pains nor expense to pro-
duce the newest styles and every Lady who calls in on the above mentioned days will be highly gratified
at seeing our magnificent display. Wo charge nothing for looking.
Mies Filer, who was many years with that celebrated millinery artiste, Maclaine lttcConkey, of -.Ion-
treal, has charge of this department for another season ; her last having proved so successful we confi-
dently recommend her to every Lady wanting first-class Millinery. She is now fully prepared to show
our very large and varied stock consisting of every novelty of the season.
MANTLES.
Wo have now received our entire stock of Mantle Cloths, which are unusually pretty and stylish.
This Season this department will be under the charge of 11Iiss Wilson, so long and favorably known in
Brussels for her excellent fit and workmanship, any Lady wanting anything in this way should give her
their: orders. Don't buy old moth-eaten garments, of which there too many aro in the market, when you
can get a good fitting, fashionable Mantle for the same money.
DRESS GOODS.
In this department we stand unrivalled. Our stock was never so Iarge nor attractive. Wo say with-
out any exaggeration, we have more dress goods on one small table than any other house in Brussels has
in their whole store. We have them as low as 10c. up to $1.50 per yard. Any Lady wishing a stylish
dress should look at our stock, under the management 0f Mrs. Rogers, who always fools it a pleasure in
ahowing our very choice stock of Dress Goods, which are marvel of beauty this season.
TWEEDS & GENT'S FURNISHINGS.
Our Fall Stock of Tweeds is now very complete, comprising all the newest patterns. They are cheap-
er this year than for many years past. We can get up a good serviceable suit at a very low price, in fact
Much cheaper and bettor than the ready-made rubbish which we clo not keep, it being generally made;
from shoddy or seine other very inferior material and the work is, as a rule, very poor. If you want toget satisfaction, buy your cloth, get your measure taken by a respectable Tailor and you will than get a
good fit, good work, and an article that will do you service.
- GROCERI S, BOOTS, SHOES, &o.
In these departments we make no comment, suffice it to say we keep a large stock of Boots Slrici ,s,
from rho very best makers and our Groceries are always fresh aid good, in fact if you want to get the very
best value for your ninny go to
