One Hundred Women May Own a New and Beautiful Lingerie
Dress at a Tremendous Savings
By Virtue of a Rather Remarkable Purchase and the
Clearing Out of Our Own Stocks
Sixty fresh and dainty lingerie dresses have just come in as “surprise boxes”
from New York. With these we have put forty from our own stock. Result—one
of the rarest and finest opportunities that the Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co.
Ready-to-Wear section has boasted this season—one that could not have been
possible earlier. It’s an odd day when a maker lets go such dresses at these prices.
But they are here!
Call the occasion a supreme moment, a windfall, a climax, whatever you will
—one hundred women are going to find one hundred dresses of surpassing beauty
and style at prices they will know do not measure the cost of materials.
See them! See what these prices stand for!
For $12.50 to $21.75 Dresses
There are seventy-four of these to choose
from. A dozen different models.
The average worth of these is near $16.75.
Crepes, plain white, white with invisible self
stripes, white with black stripes, voiles and
marquisettes—and one model that is all lace
and net.
The charm of color is added to one model
by the touch of green, green buttons, green
collar and tie, another is a coat effect dress,
the skirt is white crepe, the little coat is of
black and white crepe. But many of the dain
tiest are voiles and marquisettes, touched with
fine laces and embroideries!
For $21.75 to $29.75 Dresses
There are but twenty-five of these in all—
no more than one or two of any one style.
Crepes, voiles and marquisettes are the mate
rials. One model will have a wide band of
white maerame lace down the skirt and awide
flat collar to match, another, a dainty frilling
of shadow lace points around the bottom of the
skirt; another will be adorned with rich linen
laces; another, with exquisite French Valen
ciennes laces; many will show crushed girdles
of satin—in colors and white. No question
what women will think of them at, this price.
With these we have put some sixty linen dresses from our own stocks
that were $5.75 to $6.98, for $3.75. There are blues, tans, lavenders
and white, French and ramie linens, trimmed too variously to attempt
descriptions-—with crystal buttons, laces, bands and pipings. One point
you will not be long in noting is their neat lines. They fit superbly.
