THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1904. ll Dress Goods Sale at 39c Stylish All-Wool Fabrics of Much Better Value. I liis is an assortment of Dress Goods, plain and fancy, that we have selected from dif ferent lines for a special sale, and reduced to 39c yard. The styles are new and in the va riety will be found suitable fabrics for about every popular use. Practically all our regular 59c Dress Goods are included, while among them are many even finer than this. , Plaids are prominent—particularly shadow plaids—in gray-and-red mixures, gray-and- brown, grny-and-white, rcd-and-green. Scotch mixtures are shown in small checks and large overlaid plaids—blue, red Bnd green combinations. There are also 25 pieces of stylish Albatross—the favorite shadings. Perhaps the last of this kind that we shall be able to get to sell at 39c, because of the advance in prices. Dress Goods---Suit and Skirt Lengths. We’ve a great many lengths of Dress Goods, in the best styles, v that contain only enough for one suit or skirt. If you can find what you want among anv of these, you will save a good sum in the price. There are plain and fancy weaves in black and colors; all from this season and what might be expected, among the most popular and best selling styles. More Crepe de Chines at 50c Useful for dainty waists and dresses for evening and social wear; of course. But many are buying Crepe de Chines at this time especially to make up into beautiful evening scarfs and ties. These at 50c a yard arc exactly suited to the purpose. Pure silk, the right weight, beautifully finished Weave, strong and full of wear; 24 inches wide, in white, black and about every good color. Not the usual 50c kinds—better. We sell them regularly at 59e and 75c. Stylish Silks in Waist Patterns. •lust enough in each case for a waist—31-2 to 5 yards. Something suggestive of a gift in-Bilks like these. * Beautiful in weave, color and pattern. Plain Silks, but mostly fancies—plaids, stripes anti checks—stylish two-tone Taffetas and Louisines—also a variety of handsome patterns iu black, Arraures, Surah and India Chinas. All arc priced below value—considerably un der what they sold for when we had full pieces. Holiday Novelties in Leather and Velour. As a handsome gift—something really useful and ele gant—scarcely anything near the price will surpass these beautiful art pieces of leather and velour. There arc Mats and Centerpieces, round and oval, for use in halls, libraries and offices, long Scarfs for pianos and also tops for sofa pil lows. • ,, , , ... The work is done in leather on soft, rich velour—the designs appliqued on fields of olive green and red. The beauty’s in the novelty, and the peculiarly striking, antique effect. Something finer and different from what is usually seen. These are fit associates for the most expensive furni- ture. They are refined and very attractive, at the same time protecting whatever they adorn. Not expensive, either —nothing like as much as you would at first expect.
