Thursday, October 13th.
On next Thursday wo will have ft mn a hero from tho Alhrecht factory
with a special showing of Furs. Ho will have a line of coats and largo
pieces of all tho bettor grade furs. In buying Purs it always pays to
buy from a reliable house as there are so many different grades. We fool
that this line is ono of tho best and most reliable in the business and wo
will be pleased to have you come in and see them oven if you are not
ready to buy. Prices this year aro on a lower basis find we do not think
they will be lower , as at the recent unction of raw skins in New York
they brought an avorago of 30 per cent over last spring's prices.
