One of the largest deals of the present season
was 'consummated when our suit-buyer made
this gigantic purchase in New York. 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. It's an opportunity
