Millinery Opening
FALL SEASON, 1904
We have made unusual efforts this season in preparation
of our fall stock of Millinery, Fancy Goods, &c.
Miss Annie Meiser, of Baltimore, and Miss Lissie Poe
have charge of this department, and we feel that we can show
you the most attractive line of high class and stylish Milli
nery to be be found in the state of Georgia. We pride our
selves on the fact that we'can give you just as good styles,
and as high a class work as any store in Atlanta, with a price
that is much cheaper.
Miss Meiser has visited this season, the Baltimdre and
New York markets. She is thoroughly posted on styles, as well
as, one of the most competent trimmers in the United States.
We gave-her the position, because we wanted for the people of
Barnesville, the best milliner to be had, and we assure the
trade that if they will only give Miss Meiser a chance, she
will not only give them a high grade of work, at a price that
will be very reasonable, but she will, in a social way, make
them feel that they are at home when shopping in the Millinery
Department of the Collier Company.
Our opening days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
September 21st, 22d and 23d. We cordially invite every one
but we are mailing no cards. The season is right on us, we
are already busy.
We cordially invite the trade to visit us before making
their fall purchases in the Millinery line.
