AVE you ever noticed the difficulty some women experience in
11-4 selecting a hat that is quite becoming? That is because the dealer
J _ is often interested in making a sale than in finding a suitable hat.
Our first effort is to find THE hat that is most becoming to the cus
tomer in every way—that harmonizes with hair, complexion, contour and
everything else about a woman. When that is done we know that our
customer will be well satisfied, and that there will be no adverse criticisms.
Come to see us. Our variety is so great we will have no difficulty
in the selection of YOUR hat.
