TING MONDAY at SHIPLEY'S
WE HAVE VERY FEW SALES BUT WHEN WE DO HAVE
THEM THEY ARE INDEED REAL EVENTS.
People have come to know that a Sale at Shipley's
really means a substantial reduction in price on regular
stock articles and we would not betray this Public Con
fidance for the world.
To "Thin out" our heavy stocks of summer undies including Crepe
de Chines and rayons we have gone through them and marked
them down to sell quickly. Buy as many garments as you wish,
and when you see them you'll want to buy plenty. They will be
ideal for graduating gifts, bride gifts, birthday gifts and for ones
self.
The first thing we find is a high stack of
Crepe de Chine dainties beautifully trimmed
with lace and ribbon and ribbon flowers. The
material is of heavy weave and most desir
able in every way. They are from our regular
stock and comprise stepins with lact bot
toms, skirt effect stepins, teddies and two
piece dansets. Your choice at each
$1.98
Next we come to a lot of Rayon slips, bloom
ers and shorties with fitted band front and
elastic back. These are quality rayon in the
new pastel shades for summer. One can
hardly afford to miss this group because
about the only difference in buying these at
this price and stealing sugar is that you'll
be "within the law." Take as many as you
like at, each
98c
Then, not so many, but quite a few at that,
silk combinations and Pongee and rayon pa
jamas. Your choice of this lot.
$2.48
Suits are good this summer and here Is a
wonderful chance to obtain a very high class
waist at the price of a most ordinary kind.
We are going to offer, for as long as they
last, Crepe de Chine suit waists with long
sleeves in a variety of color and sizes. They
are mostly all plain colors but a few novelty
prints are to be found. The necks are cut
both high and low so one should be able to
find just about what one would desire.
$4.95
And Oh, look at these rayon gowns in the
beautiful soft shades. Some are perfectly
plain and others are elaborate with lace
yokes and shoulder straps. We can't imagine
anyone wearing the ordinary nighty when
these will be sold for
$1.98
Crepe de Chine, heavy grade, gowns, step
ins, dansets with kick skirts, teddies, sha
dowprpof slips and rayon "Cats Pajamas."
There are many articles In this lot that will
surely make her eye twinkle with joy and
contentment.
Some odds and ends of "perfect" hose. The different lots are on
sale because we do not have a run of sizes in all shades, or pos
sibly there is just a few pairs of a kind left, but in every case they
are perfect hose and should not be confused with "seconds" or
"soiled." We are only sorry that we cannot quote comparative
prices because they would surely cause some comment at this sale.

pure silk, full fashioned, cotton top hose to
clear away at per pair 35c, or
