WE arc particularly gratified in showing
and selling Wooltex garments because
they possess the double virtue so unusual in
women's ready-to-wear garments of combin
ing fashionable styles and colorings with,
quality and workmanship of the highest
superiority. r
We always know that the customer who
purchases a Wooltex coat or suit will be pcr-
mancntly .satisfied with the garment bought,
and we arc anxious 'that you should come and
look through this Wooltex collection while
they arc fresh and new and while possession
is so much more enjoyable than it- will be
ilater, when the new fashions become more
common.
i Wooltex garments arc absolutely correct
in style but never extreme. They delight the
purchaser when first worn because of their
elegance of materials, their refinement, their
, superb lines and the splendid tailoring which
not only makes them good-fitting, but insures
permanence to the shapeliness of the
garments.
The new Wooltex suits arc shown in many
beautiful models at $25, $30 and $35.
Wooltex coats, $16.50, $20 and $25.
