The topic of the moment is Easter Togs, for Easter is the day of
days for dress. J
Fittingly So
For it marks the advance of the new season, the time to discard
dull raiment and like Nature, look to brighter attire.
Of course you will want an Easter Hat, and this season's shies' are
realty new, novelties in shapes, colors, fin.sh and trimmings.
Then there are gloves, the ever popular and dressy, dressed and
undressed kid in light and dull grays and various shades of brown. ,
Of coarse you will give the Easter shirt and tie attention for thev
lend the final touch to Easter dress.
All these Easter things we have anticipated with a special stock in
each department, of which we welcome your attention.
