You need not spend a lot of money
To have a lot of pretty new waists
Not if you buy them here; in fact it might be a
surprisingly small sum. To be specific $1.00 will buy
a neat, worthy, appealing, dependably made, perfectly
fitting waist. Two dollars it's true will buy a finer
Blouse, but the thought we want to convey is that in
these moderate priced waists you get Real Style dis
tinction and all that goes to make a Blouse desirable.
