claimed for it; it nevei fails and is a
sure cure for consumption, coughs

Good Taste
Says the Dry Goods Chronicle of May 15th:
"With the advent of the shirt waist season every merchant is un
doubtedly interested iu procuring wash fabrics that are at once sightly
and fashionable. We are led to this conclusion as a result of our visit
duriug the week to the departments in the big stores where shirt waists
are sold. Such a heterogenous collection of ugly patterns and unittrac
tive colorings we never sa massed in a pile as they were in the retail
stores of Greater New York. The purchasers of these must have got hold
of the tail-ends of last years' drives in wash goods. No person of good
taste would ever be guilty of drawfting his sense of the beautiful by buy
ing such stuT. Hence we conclude that to make many profitable sales a
wash goods stock must comprise the most beautiful styles and patterns."
We have won golden opinions for our choice in this direction.
No such beauties and values anywhere as we are showing in
