and every apparel need for Women's and Children's wear.
The month when this store renders great service to all
in supplying the best grades of spring and summer mer
chandise at most favorable prices.
Good merchandise is scarce and high. This store has
protected its customers with the largest stocks in its his
tory, most of it bought before the advance in prices began,
and as long as possible to be sold at old prices.

we must advance prices to maintain our standard qualities.
But you will find we have protected you, and that
means you can provide your needs here for the spring and t
summer season at the lowest prices.
