SPRING SUITINGS
Last week we placed on our counters the
first shipment of oar new spring suitings.
All the patterns for this spring are entirely
different froth what has been shown: We
have a fine collection of Scotch Tweeds,
Cheviots, Viennas, Serges, etc., and at al-
most every price from $15 to $25. Just
three weeks till Easter -so if you want
your new spring suit for that time we would
advise you to make your selection soon.
. . The New Hats .
You must have a new hat.to be in style, this spring. The •
shapes that are correet for the season are noticeably differ-
ent than have beep worn. .In DerhyS the flat set brim is
"right" We have them in several dimensions in black. Those
who prefer a soft hat will find here several' new shapes in
curl brims Fedoras with raw,eclges and wide. band in both
black and the popular shades of gray. , •
Superior values at $2 and $2.50. Hats that will wear best •
and keep their shape and colors. No other store will dupli-
cate the quality and style for the money. Why not save 50
cents or a dollar on your new hat,
evorib/onomfriwioi.
