THE CLINTON ISIEW ERA,
Comparison's the only way to judge the truth of what we
0nf claim for our Hosiery department ---that is ---no stock's
better, few to equal, and prices for the same qualities
lower than anywhere else.
The greater part of Black Cotton Hosiery sold in this country
is made and dyed in Germany, all that is a fast and stain -
les black is.
In buying our Hosiery for this season's trade, we did as the
wholesale houses do, bought direct frotn the manufac-
turer, by so doing "saving the wholesaler's profit. They
came to us direct from Cemnitz,Saxony, the great centre
of the German Hosiery trade, and we have no middle
man's profit to pay, which enables us to quote closer pri-
ces and give better goods for the same money than last
year.
Every pair is dyed by Louis' Hermsdorf, and we guarantee
them fast and stainless.
