First of all this is your store. Through you and your influence it has grown from what it was fifteen years ago, a small, unpretentious shop, to what it is to-day, "Notfolk's Greatest Store." Through all these years your confidence in us has remained stead? fast, unshaken. How much we deserve it you know best. The keystone of our great success is merit. The understones are style, quality and price, fair treatment, liberal methods and promptness. On this strong foundation this store is built Four entire floors and a basement, covering an area of 32,^00 square feet, are devoted solely (for no other purpose whatever) to the storage, display and sale of merchandise gathered from the best and most re? putable makers in this and foreign countries. We own the building! We have no rent to pay! A matter of saving to us of from ten to twelve thousand dollars annually. This benefits YOU wonderfully! The great importance of it is plainly dis? cernible in our daily quoting of absolutely the lowest prices possible for any Norfolk store to quote! And we are still growing greater. Not adding to, but improving. The hammer and saw of the carpenter, and the brush of the painter and paper hanger are doing much to facilitate the proper handling of our constantly increasing business. By holiday time you'll find this almost a new store. Great mer? chandising movements are now well under way. They'll culminate ere long. Details later. You'll find to-day's news of new things worth your while reading. Read it carefully. Black Serge Suits, at This and other good values will invigorate to-morrow's sale. "Norfolk's Greatest Store" will place it's suit room another peg beyond the possibilities of competition to-morrow. This bona-fide value (these $17 suits, at $12) represent suit selling such as commands the attention of every woman looking toward economy. Stop else | where, in every store in town, and if you can find that $17 will buy a suit better! than one of these at $12 we've missed our guess. These suits are made of all-wool black English serge. The jaunty double breasted short jacket has the stylish bell sleeves and is lined throughout with j excellent serge silk.
