A Store Which Can Grow and Prosper and Increase It's Business in times such as these, shows that its organization must be right. The great stress placed upon world happenings during the past few weeks, applies the sev erest test to a store's ability to gather it's merchandise from all sources in abundant quantities. The question of supplying the demand with foreign articles and of domestic productions where foreign materials form a part, has become a serious problem, and only is accomplished by those mercantile establishments show ing the highest efficiency. We feel safe in saying, that at no time in the history of this business have we been so well prepared with so complete and varied assortments of all the wanted articles of merchandise and with very few exceptions the prices are no more than they were before the troubles in Eur ope began.

The French modistes who have recently become asso ciated with some of the New York Manufacturers, are sending us samples of their Americanized models, which display a most comprehensive understanding of the simp ler tastes of American women. These French ideas developed in American shops, un der American influence, give a chic, distinctive personal ityyto all these garments. We are thinking of something quite sensational when we select for special exploitation several splendid models, women's Autumn suits, broadcloths, worsteds, gaberdines, poplins, etc., and mark them all at $25.00. Many beautiful latest model coats, Redingote styles, wide girdles and collars, broadcloth, rich novelty mix tures, crepe poplins, etc., priced for this occasion at $16.50.
