The First Invoice of our Large SPRING STOCK has Arrived
With a Big Lot more to arrive on next boat.
We bought early this Spring, and, therefore, saved money, as goods are advancing
and merchants who buy now will have to pay these advances. A great many goods we
are selling for less than we did last season.
We have a big bargain to offer in pure all Silk Ribbons, all the latest shades,
very wide at 5c. and 10c. a yard. The regular price on these ribbons is 10c. and 25c.
A fine line of Ladies’ Percale Wrappers, from 90c. up.
In DRESS GOODS we are showing the Finest Goods that ever was in the city ;
the newest patterns and styles in Plaid Goods, imported Black Mohair and many others of
the very latest imported goods.
As usual, we have an enormous stock of Fine Calicos, Percales, Duck Goods and
Shirtings, which we bought before the big advance on cotton goods, and consequently
can g ve you the advantage of our good buy.
