THE FBB1POBT DAILY JOTTBlfALt WOVEMBB1? 94, Miss Alice Grieves An expert Corsetiere is with us for a few days to demonstrate the Celebrated Red fern Whalebone Corsets. She is here to tell you just what you need in Corsets to make your dress fit perfectly and at the same time insure you comfort in wearing. We shall be pleased to have you call. The American woman's figure is essentially I composed of or less accented curves. As the latest decree of fashion is the hipless form, the reduction of these natural curves becomes a matter of first importance.

In Redfern Whalebone Corsets are new and beautiful models, with extremely long skirt, completely enclosing the abdomen, hips and back, flattening and sloping the form with any height of bust to suit the varying types of forms. Boned with selected Arctic Whalebone rounded and celluloid dipped to prevent breaking through the finest fabrics. The attached Hose Supporters have the famous Security Rubber Button rips. to per Pair. A.

The Best WATCHES In the United States Not only have we the best watches in the United States, but the best in the world. There was a time when foreign watches, particularly Swiss watches, were considered the best, but to-day American watches are the finest of the fine, carry American makes a full line of men's and women's watches all sixes and styles.

Just A word about prices. Quality and service considered, Bengston's prices are low. We don't carry any 50c watches, but we do have watches from $1.50 to $150.00, every one of them guaranteed by the maker and by Bengston. matter where you go, you won't find prices any lower than we make you right here in Freeport. The biggest mail order house in this country can't make you any lower prices than we do.

We've examined their catalogue's and know what we're talking about. They can't buy really good watches any cheaper than we can. The other kind we don't carry. If they make a cheap price on a watch, it's a cheap watch. For good watches they ask as much and sometimes more than we do.

We are prepared to prove that our Prices Are The Lowest In The United States Bring your mail order catalogue and Come in. We'll prove all we say about quality and prices. Pick out any good watch and we'll meet the price for a watch of the same grade. You don't buy a watch every day and you ought to buy of a reliable home dealer who has buih up a permanent trade in your community and couldn't aiTord to mislead you as to quality and prices even if disposed to. While the advertisements of mail order houses may not lie absolutely untruthful, it is a fact that most of them are so worded as to make you believe you are getting a better watch for your money than you really are.

What do you know about a watch anyway? Suppose you order one by mail with privilege of returning it and getting your money back if not satisfactory. When it comes how can you tell whether it's worth the money or not? din you tell how many jewels it has and whether they are genuine or only imitations? Do you know a solid gold case from one that's gold rilled? Can you distinguish a gold filled case from one that's merely gold washed? There's a lot of other things the average person doesn't know about watches. Come in ana let us show you. We adjust each watch to your person. Can the mail order house do that for you? No matter how carefully a watch is adjusted at the factory, it should be regulated to keep accurate time on the wearer's body.

This requires time, nice discrimination and experience but we don't charge you anything for it. MANY DIFFERENT MAKES Here are the makes we carry: Elgin, Waltham, Hamilton, Illinois, South Bond and Xew England. Which is the best? Well, that depends upon what you want a watch for. They are ALL good. Most people prefer the Elgin, and of the Men's and women's watches we sell are" Elgins.

They are constructed with infinite care, of selected proven materials, and are unexcelled in precision, delicacy and durability. In addition to our great variety of watches we have an extensive stock of beautiful and substantial fobs and chains and a g9neral line of jewelry of which we are justly proud. Come in and see our goods, whether you wisli to buy or not. We would like to acquaint you with our line, and want you to know particularly that this is the place to buy watches.
