Our boy's Suits arc at all times

closer margin of profit than the

for us to compare our lines aud

Wash Materials
Common sense teaches us to handle
only wash materials that nre sub
stantial aud permanent in color and
fabric. Our store has sold yards and
yards of Dcvoushircs, Ginghams,
Percales and Ripplctcs and uever a
single solitary complaint do we hear.
When we buy aprons or house
dresses it is our firm endeavor to deal
with those houses who give us sub
stantial merchandise. The sales we
make 011 these garments convinces us
wc have what is right.
Hosiery
Lisle Hosiery has been scarce in the
better grades ns it has been popular
because of the extremely high price of
Silk Hose. We are particularly fortu
nate of having a good stock of these in
all sizes for all people. The Misses
styles are from 5Qf to 75 per pair;
Ladies 75to$1.25.
