After seeing the display of Maish Comforts in our show win dows, most people are not satisfied until they come in and sample their feather lightness. "Just like down!" that is what almost everyone exclaims. "Better than down," we say. And physicians heartily en dorse our say-so. There's no more healthful kind of bed comfort than one of pure, sanitary cotton. And the purest cotton comfort we have been able to find is the MAISH fflSWN COMFORTS But that isn't their only point of superiority. Maish Comforts do not bunch and lump. They stay comfortable 'till they're worn out. Made of finely-curled cotton, of exceptional purity and under absolutely sanitary conditions. They keep light, fluffy and uniform because they're made by a special process which gets the best service out of the best cotton and keeps il in shape. This kind of comfort costs very little more than the "don't care'' kind. So why not have it? Come in and let us show you how light as well as thick Maish Comforts are. The covers of lovely Maisaline, Maisilk and Maisateen in soft art shades and are as fascinating as the wonderful lightness of these desirable comforts.
