One of Those Thoroughly Genuine and Worth While Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co. Sales of
New Suits, New Coats and New Dresses
Next to the remarkable prices that obtain to-morrow, the one big and fine fact that stands out
is that the suits, coats and dresses in this sale are NEW.
The ready-to-wear section has been refilled within the last week.
The newness and freshness rivals a day in early October.
But no October day ever brought the values you shall have to-morrow.
It happened like this—
Ten days ago the buyer hurried to New York.
Conditions were unique. Makers had “weather-itis” and—what has never happened before—they
were anxious to be rid of all imported cloths, owing to a readjustment of the tariff the first of the year.
But now the sale unique among sales at this season of the year!
No off shades. No picked-over “remnants.” No straggling waifs.
Everything as new as the morning and as bright and attractive—suits, coats and dresses you would
select were the savings no consideration. •
It is logical to suppose that the woman who needs a suit, coat or dress will go to-morrow to the store that has the fresh stocks.
