In our BLACK DRESS GOODS DEPARTMENT We are showing a seltction of New Styles in "Gold Medal"' Fabrics of this Season's wear.

In finish and style they are beyond I compare. They are all from the celebrated European loom, and canuot fail to please the most exactiug. The color of these fabrics is absolutely perfect. ? number of these styles have been wnslnd, hung in the sun, dried and ironed, end when placed hefcide newly purchased lots no differeneo whatever could be distinguished in brightness and lustre.

Why Gold Medal Fabrics are the Best. "Gold Medal" Fabrics are soi offered as "cheap" Goods. It must not be inferred that they are costly-for from it. Their price is below many lines advertised solely because of their cheap??efs, and they are entirely within the limits of the average purse. THE GUAi?ftR??L? t?&t accompanies these Fabrics enables us to conacientiously oiler them to our trade as Goods of the first-class in every respect. They are guaranteed by the Manufacturer, and by us to our patrons. They are superior in finish, and wearing qualities to all other lines of Dress Goods in the market to-day, as is fully proved by the constantly increaaing demand for^them* PINE WOOL, BEST DYES, SUPERIOR WORKMANSHIP, EXCELLENT FINI8H. These are what constitute a perfect fabric. Tt always pays to obtain the best. In noth ing else ia this so true as in pureba ti rig a Black Dress. Beauty in a fabric, os in a face, is often but skin deep. To find its real value we,must look deeper. Many have done this with these Fabrics, and have found them, in the wearing, dyeing, finishing and wearing qualities unsurpassed. When' to this is added our guarantee, it would seem that little, more need be said ic' their praise. OUR OBLIGATIONS.'
