Yes, we know you’re particular. That’* how you came to know thl* Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Hosiery and Underwear
stock so well. »
It's the particular women that have made a great part of this business.
For there is no rubbing out the fact that an underwear garment of perfect weave, elasticity and shaping can rid one of a
dozen annoyances, both in the buying and the wearing:
We can put a finger to the weak points in every inferior production—because we have informed ourselves on every side.
And you can as easily tell for yourself why we have chosen these.

NEW STEAMSHIPS
FOR THE BEE LINE
Plans are now being made by Presi
dent H. M. Atkinson, of the Brunswick
Steamship Company, for new steam
ships to be operated between New York
and Brunswick, and Brunwlck and Ha.
vana. Bo large has the passenger traf
fic become on this line that It Has
grown oqt of all proportions and has
exceeded what had been originally an
ticipated. It has now bedn decided that
with the trip of the S. S. Brunswick,
which left Brunswick on May 27, the
ship will be withdrawn and the pas
senger service will be abandoned until
the company Is able to co^o with the
situation.
FOR JAMESTOWN
Norfolk, Va., May 29.—"John Smith’’
day at the Jamestown Exposition Is
suggested from New York, the plan
outlined being to assemble on that day,
those of the Illustrious name from all
parts of the United States, to do honor
to the great captain whose name they
bear, on the site of his first landing on
American aoll. The organisation of a
"John Smith Bureau" la advised. How
many are eligible to membership In a
"John Smith ^Association?" Since the
suggestion has been made this question
Is receiving attention from a number of
amateur statisticians.
"The name of John Smith Is probably
no more often met with In Norfolk and
vicinity than elsewhere,” says James
A. Wood, commissioner general of the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. "The
last city directory of Seattle, Wash,
gave 140 representatives of the grand
old name. I find the directory of Nor
folk, Portsmouth and Berkeley carries
fifty-four. As directories generally
take no cognisance or residents of mors
or less transient character nor of those
not heads of families. It would be a fair
estimate to classify about one-tenth of
one per cent of the male population of
every city In the country nnder the
name of John Smith. On this general
basis Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berke
ley abould produce about eighty John
Smiths. New York, whence cornea the
suggestion for the organisation, should
be able to send at least 6,009. Chicago
should be good for 2,600, St. Louis for,
ssy, 1,800. A convention of John Smiths
at Jamestown would afford the un
precedented spectacle of a gathering of
more than 100,000 men of the same
name.” —
