The price of cotton and cotton fabrics has advanced exces sively recently reaching the highest figure since Civil war days, and still the price of WIRTHMOR WAISTS remains the same. In these deservedly popular Blouses the materials used are just as good as ever; they'll wear as well; they'll launder as well; they're made as finely; and the STYLES are just as genteel and pretty as in the past. Only the vast volume of WIRTHMOR sales, the many large economies of the WIRTHMOR PLAN, coupled with the forehand ed purchase of material and a fixed purpose on the part of re tailer and maker to hold down price accounts for these truly remarkable values.
