Those who have tried them pronounce them superior to any thing ever offered for anything near the price. Kid Gloves, to be good and wear well, must be newly made of soft, elastic skins and freshly tanned. If they lay in stock long the skin becomes dry and harsh; it is sure to follow that a very large percentage will crack, and in many instances the seams part in putting on the first time. To prove the accuracy of the above statement, I have sold 25 dozen the past ten days and have not had one complaint—not one has ^proved faulty; not one lias parted seams. Can more he said of Gloves that are sold daily for 50 per cent more? I hope Hie ladies of Co lumbus will appreciate this effort to give them fresh Gloves at a very low price, and give us their trade.
