Season: after. Season since we have been in Columbia we have demonstrated our ability to bring to this establishment
for owNorth and Soufh Carolina trade the handsomest goods produced by the foremost manufacturers of the world.
For Fall and Winter, 1904, vwe are proud to say we have accomplished more than ever in our endeavor to bring
together enormous and unexcelled varities and qualities unapproached by any other merchant in two States. We
do not say unapproached by competition for such is not recognized by us, for the fact there are no stocks the equal of
what is here in point of completeness or in goodness of goods. Our efforts in revolutionizing the Department Store
business in the Carolinas have not been void of results. Our past record in this regard speaks forcibly for itself, and
now that we have added so much to the upbuilding of this class of business is reaping for us an abundant harvest
in that we are controlling a trade of the highest class, a trade which reaches out through all sections of North
and South Carolina.

account of the pleasant relations between Mr. Tapp and the enormous
Tape's connections in the business world is most favorable. He has
extant in New York who are continually looking after his interests, offering and sending him as they do the latest
and best of everything that eminates from the fashion cenfers of the globe. In Mr. Tapps greatest accomplishments
this season has not only been in the direction of bringing to his store in Columbia the finest selections .of Dress
Goods, Tailored Suits and general lines for the service of womankind, but he has again secured the services of Miss
Katherine Strohuber and Madam Stedman, two of the most expert designers of fashionable headwear for ladies that
ever came South, ladies with original ideas and creative minds, artists whose life's work has been spent in perfecting
the millinery profession. AH of Charlotte and most of North Carolina will remember Miss Strohuber and Madaih
Stedman as having produced, while in the service of Mr. Tapp in Charlotte, the greatest masterpieces in the Millin
er s art that has ever been shown South, the highest type of fashionable Hats. It will be the pleasure ot these ladies
to again meet the requirements of their old: friends and patrons. If it is not convenient for you to visit Columbia
this Fall, make,knpwii
The Bi Opening, Beginning on Wednesday September 28,
Will be a masterly occasion. The swellest displays of fashionable Hats for Fall and Winter service will be shown
