Autumn Millinery Opening We have arranged to make the first authentic display of Autumn Millinery for both street and dress wear at our store in Leon on TT Thursday, Friday and Saturday,, Sept. 16, 17 eaid 18 have this year given the selection and preparation of our stock greater care than ever before. We were in the market early and made our purchases long before the stocks of the most exclusive styles in the principal Chicago wholesale millinery houses were de pleted. Thus we were able to buy to the greatest advantage. We gave much of our time to the careful study of the new creations, both of the French Milliners and of the American adaptations. Rest assured that any hat on display at our opening is correct in shape, style and trimming. We wish to make our store the home of all that is correct in millinery and to that end we strive continually. We are proud of the splendid display that we shall have ready for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 16, 17 and 18. Make a note of the dates and plan to be a member of the great throng that will be our guests at that time.
