It is to them especially that we wish to say a few words. We want to make you acquainted with our stock of Dry Goods and everything that pertains to Ladies wear. Our goods are continually changing and we are always getting new things.

The very fact that we are careful not to overbuy enables us to do this and consequently you get the advantages of the changes. Within the last few days we have added to our line of embroideries and we can show you a line now that we have no need to be ashamed of. Deep flouncings, galooning, corsetcover embroideries, edgings, overlaces, all-over embroideries, laces. We carry a very complete line and we can assure you that you will not have the chance to buy these goods which we are now carrying three years from now for we know they will be sold in less time than that and new goods will be in their places. In fact we have experienced that since we started over a year ago we have to put in a whole new line twice a year.

In shirtwaists we have gotten a whole new line. We sold entirely out last season and you will not find an old waist in our place. We have the military waists in several shades, white fancy waists and plain waists. We have had these only a few days but the sale on them so far leads us to believe that we will have to reorder within a short time. Our line of G-D Justrite corsets is complete and every size stocked.

Try one of these next time you need a corset and you will always wear one. Ladies neckwear of all kinds in fissues, collar and cuff sets, frills, lace collars and bows and fancy Windsor ties. There are so many things which we have gotten in recently which are the very latest that, it would take this whole paper to talk about them. The most satisfactory way is for you to conie in and see for yourself. on have dresses to make up for yourself and the childtv.a come in and see what we have we are s.ure yov will like our lire.

Tho whole i Koive is at service..
