Such an enormous quantity staggered representatives of leading stores in many larger cities, but knowing this store's supremacy as a style supply center and the immense outlet provided by our large and constantly increasing clien tele, our Suit Department manager negotiated for this stupendous quantity with perfect confidence in their quick disposal. No other store west of Chicago could think of handling so great a number of Suits in one purchase. Our ready cash and willingness to handle such volumes of merchandise has made possible what is, without exception, the Premier Suit Value Event ever featured in the West. The Costumes concerned are marvels of artistic handiwork in either the plain tailored or elaborately trimmed styles. Most expert workmanship of New York's foremost designers and garment makers is displayed in the construction of these garments. The materials are the finest obtainable and they are cleverly fashioned into distinctive and original styles. There are plain colored fabrics in all the wanted shades; there are fancy stripes, checks, plaids, etc. The decorations employed are rich laces, appliques, silk braids, soutache braids, buttons, pendants and straps. The weaves run from the sheer voiles to medium weight wool suit' ings. Many of the lighter weight voiles are made with a silk drop skirt. Every woman who reads this advertisment must be intensely interested.
