The Fall Gown
To most women it's a pleasure to select the
approaching season's gowns, particularly when
they find themselves among' almost unlimited
assortments of dainty richness and real loveli
ness. That's one reason why a visit to our
dress goods department is a real treat. You
will notice that among the thousands of pieces
displayed here there is nothing that is not per
fectly seasonable, not strictly up-to-date; you
will also notice the wonderful variety of color
ings and color combinations in every line dis
played, and above all, you will be very favor
ably impressed with the price littleness that
prevails throughout the department. This de
partment occupies about one-third more floor,
counter, and shelf space than it has ever had
before and every nook and corner of the great
er department is filled with NEW goods.
An inspection will prove all this. Come.
