Take Dre Goods,for instance; we coul fill the whole paper in tal ing of them, and then aft spoiling the meaning words it'd resolve itself int this truism that J. C. Gilro always has the choicest e hibit of Dress Goods a popular prices.. Wendell Phillips once sal in a lecture,.when you rea the news in a morning pape you -have no notion of wha has really happened till yo look up to the paper's title. That's just as true of adver- tising—you interpret what's written by what you know to be:back of the telling. Judged by the most criti- ,cal standard, this store's news is honest and this store's merchandise most gainful. Our aims are not narrow—we trade for profit but we have an interest in your satisfaction and good will, so much so as to return the money wherever things are 'other than represented. Mid -June marks the zen- ith of Dress Goods activity We're nearing it and the bustle around oar counters shows that our efforts to have the best values in the handsomest materials is meeting with keen appreci- ation.
