It may have a self centered sound to you when
we tell you to buy early, but we believe we are giv
ing you good advice.
The prices are steadily rising and the feeling
seems to be prevalent that on the best merchan
dise it is not a question of price but of getting it.
When you find something you like
at a reasonable price, buy it, or ' else
you will likely be disappointdd. .,-
Our line of Cloaks and Coat Suits is complete
and they do not fail to bring forth admiration.
Shirt Waist and Skirts we haye in abundance,
their beautydtyl?e unexcelled.
Our price; on wilre very reasonable.
Get them now.
