We clo not intend to give the Ladies ot"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 thou' 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 clays will be highly gratified
at seeing our magnificent display. We charge nothing for looking.
